Staying out of the ditch - Part Quatre   


At least I think we've talked about this before, three times.  The impetus for all of this was being able to stay out of the wind. And things just grew from there.  The most important display is now my Alert Page.


Warning!



High winds are expected tomorrow and this is a real Red Flag warning issued from NOAA. The flow is: GPS Lat/Lon flows into Node-Red. Lat/Lon calls National Weather Service (NWS) public APIs to get the forecast and any alerts. 


Note that I also pull the Specific Area Messaging Encoding (SAME) Codes for my location from NWS. The RV has a weather radio and, if motivated, I could program these codes into that for additional alerting.


Forecasting 


I have additional webpages for the current conditions and the next-four-hour forecast:



Solar


How the Solar panels are performing:



GNSS


And some GPS data like Latitude, Longitude, Speed, Track and Signal Quality. I can also call OpenStreetMap to display a map of my position.
