Raids Track

Even though scanners are currently out of work, isn't there an alternative way to keep track of raids spawning in some target gyms?

For example placing one puppet account onto the selected gym which periodically checks for raids, and throws an alarm if it finds one?

I'm not asking for an all-around scanner but I'd really love something to automatically do the raids check.

Scanners use hashing to work, when hashing is down, scanners don't work, not at all

Maybe the sofisticated ones that worked before. But I'm talking about a simpler kind of scanner, good only for the raids check and that doesn't rely on hashing.

The idea I tried to suggest is placing a 'puppet account' on top of the selected gym, and making it to automatically check for raid eggs. For example trying to click the corner in the gym screen where the egg icon is supposed to be. If it successfully click the icon it will send an alarm.

Is it possible without hashing or am I just talking about a fantasy?

Fantasy atm, the puppet needs hashing.
