Sending NOAA Weather Alerts to Your LED Ticker Thing
01/09/2020 at 04:04 • 0 comments
I just created a project to send NOAA weather data to my LED Ticker using FlashLex. The NOAA alerts service is a simple scheduled python service that parses data from the NOAA alerts RSS feed and sends a FlashLex message to your thing.Imagine you want to sound an alarm to warn people that a flood is predicted. You could easily create an IOT device to flash lighs, send emails or turn on a siren using FlashLex.
Feel free to investigate more information on how to start developing your own apps using FlashLex.
