I live near the ocean and wanted to show the tide status on my FC200 so I wrote a script to read the NOAA buoy data and set my status lights. I thought I would share just in case anyone could use this or wanted to modify for themselves.
Concept, read NOAA data every few minutes to see where tides are and direction.
I used a FC200 switch that only has 4 status lights but you could easily adapt this for more lights.
Blue lights moving up the light says tide coming in and what quarter it is in.
Yellow lights moving down says tide going out and what quarter it is in.
Set 3 variables in the script (documented in header).
Rename extension to .vb
Enjoy
