This is the back-end for a device that displays how high the tide is at a specific location in real-time.

It is the code referred to in this blog post by @DrLucyRogers: SeeTide.

The blog post explains how you find your coastal location and plug it into the HTTP input node.

Tidal data is scraped from the UK Hydrographic Easy Tide web site once a day, and the flow creates a number of sine-wave models of the day's tide, peaking and troughing at the correct high and low tide times.

The model is then run every 5 minutes to compute how far in or out the tide currently is, and formats a string of RGB colours to send over MQTT to a neopixel display device that displays the green/blue mix to show land and sea.

The Humax HDR-FOX T2 digital video recorder has a popular firmware hack which enables a web server with a UI for remote management of the Humax.

(see http://hummy.tv/forum/threads/quick-start-guide.1301/ - use at your own risk, invalidates warranty, etc).

Anyway, if you've done that, one of the "apps" is a web version of the remote control. This sends HTTP requests to the Humax web interface to inject commands as if they're button presses on the remote.

There is a debug window on the web interface which tells you the names of the commands it sends, so you can extend this flow to add additional buttons and sequences very easily. I've just shown a few basic ones (and the STANDBY command, which took slightly more effort to discover!).

Replace the IP address in the HTTPrequest node with the IP address of your Humax (there's a menu option in the Humax settings which tells you, or look in your router's DHCP table).
