Are there any good Ocean Water Temp components for HA

There are good components for Ocean Tides, Surf reports (wave heights, etc), UV levels. This weekend was wondering if there were any components that also include ocean water temp. Might be neat and would complete my “Surf Report” page. :slight_smile:

While looking closer I found this site
https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/

There is already a NOAA component, but it’s currently just for tide times, which makes sense since the location ID’s would not be the same as a Buoy ID. I wonder if the backend code would be pretty much the same?

Actually looking closer the NOAA component uses py_NOAA

and It already has the ability to pull the current/watertemp, etc.

Pretty cool, now to just figure out how to update/the NOAA Tide component to add the ability to add different IDs for tide/water conditions, etc.

Edit: Actually it looks like all the code is pretty much there and it would not take much at all to take the NOAA tides component and modify it to add the NBDC (water temp from buoys). My question is for stuff like this. Do people usually add to the existing component or would you create a new component?

I am not a developer but I would definitely add to the existing component, with the temperature as an attribute in addition to the tide heights and whatnot.

This looks interesting but I can’t see NOAA web site delivering any information for Australia. Anyone got an alternative?

Any news on that idea?
