Hello,
Hereafter a screeen shot with sensor automatically created.
Amoung them the remaining time before next tide.
The icon shows if the tide is slack or not (slack = period +/- 1hour aroung high/low tide)
I love what you have done with this. It was very easy to get up an running for this HA newcomer.
I’d like to add a vertical line on the graph at the approximate location of the current time. Maybe this can be achieved using the picture elements card? i guess you cannot add to the jpeg as it is only generated once per day? is it possible for the user to configure the colour/size of the jpeg?
thanks for your amazing work on this. it rocks!

Thanks a lot for your feeback.
You can modify the colour of the generated image by setting R,G,B values at initialisation :
- during configuration of the worldtidesinfocustom within UI, choose expert mode.
- in YAML (the following parameter) :
- plot_color: 2,102,255
- plot_background: 255,255,255
I’d like the enhancement to trace a line :
- perhaps there is a way via picture element thanks to “condition” → you will add 1 condition for each line you want to draw
- or I will add a feature inside python source code.
In both case, it can take some time. I will think for second solution with “pillow” library.

Hello,
It seems achievable within the custom component source code (via pillow library).
My forecast is to generate a 2nd picture with a “line” on it.

Hello,
I’m building a new “camera”.
Hereafter, the current height in red plot on the current prediction.
If someone has comments, feel free.

Hi jugla
The Tides have been soo helpful. I use a Victron CerboGX with a GPS dongle as the GPS location to show the tides, and that way I know when to plan to arrive or derpart in shallower areas.
Two updates that would be really useful (if possible):
- Seeing the actual time on the x-axis of the chart
- Option to have the chart show a week (7 days or 5 days) of tide
Thanks
Wayne
Hello,
Thanks for the new ideas !
For actual time on the x-axis of the chart , it shall be possible 
For 7 days or 5 days, I wil see how how to handle it (to manage credits)

Hello Wayne,
Please test the version 10.
Enjoy : it allows to see long prediction
Hello Wayne,
In v10.0.1, I’ve created a long_plot_curve : the prediction length can be set during declaration of monitored location, or via option in UI.
In v10.1.0, in plot curve, i’ve created label with absolute time : for current height, and next tide (low and high)
Thanks in advance for your feed back
This is absolutely BRILLIANT, thanks!!!
great !
Thanks a lot for your feed back !
Hi,
First congrats for your job! Really amazing.
I am struggling a bit to configure this add-on the way I would. Probably because of my ignorance;)
Please note that I am using the YAML configuration.
I have some questions:
- Is it possible to configure the time of the day of the daily request to the server ? From the worltides server I can read that the daily rest is received every day at 6:57.
- Is it possible to force an immediate request to the server to update the data ?
- Is it possible to force a refresh the plot to update the actual time of day point ?
Thx in advance for your help.
PS: Allez les maritimes
Hello !
Thanks for your feed back !
It’s better to use the UI to set up integration (you will have the plot curves, and the calendar) !
Here the answers to your questions :
- For static location, I force the update to midnight since one of the displayed curve is provided by worldtides server (that is updated at midnight)
- If there is no data, there is an immediate request to server (for moving location like a boat, I force an update based on distance and time)
- The update of plots is performed every 15minutes like this :
==> The black point is the current one.
If you need more info, don’t hesitate !!
Thx for the quick feedback.
I first tried to configure the integration using the UI but I failed to get the plot.
I only get ‘idle’ as shown below.
I am missing something here 
When I click on the ‘le_morne_tides_curve_picture’ , I get the following:
In the log, I can read:
2022-05-30 17:15:32 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.camera] Platform worldtidesinfocustom does not generate unique IDs. ID lat:-20.478481600090554_long:57.33558654785157_plot_picture already exists - ignoring camera.le_morne_plot_picture 2022-05-30 17:15:32 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.camera] Platform worldtidesinfocustom does not generate unique IDs. ID lat:-20.478481600090554_long:57.33558654785157_long_plot_picture already exists - ignoring camera.le_morne_long_plot_picture
That’s could explain but I don’t know how to solve it…
Thx

Hello,
The camera state is determined if recorded or streaming. Here I set a static image except when I update (every 15minutes)
==> So it s idle almost all the time …
Have you set a UI and YAML as the same time ?
In YAML, you have to remove camera declaration.
To be sure, declare through UI another location with lat:-20.478;long:57.335 (that is closed from your previous declaration)
any news ?
Hi,
Sorry for the delay.
I got it working following your advice and using UI.
I have removed everything in YAML.
Very nice job. I love it.
Thx a lot for your prompt support.
