FERRY TERMINAL BOARD
A ferry terminal board that counts down to the next sailing, rotates dock assignments, and pulls live wind speed from the Open-Meteo API so passengers see conditions before boarding. Sailings at 07:40, 08:20, 09:05, and 10:00 cycle through the next-sailing widget while a notices row flips boarding rules like "bikes board first." Suited to terminal waiting rooms, harbor offices, and waterfront restaurants.

Where does the wind reading come from, and can I localize it?
The wind row is a data widget already wired to Open-Meteo's public JSON forecast. Edit the URL's latitude and longitude to your harbor and it reports your water. Live data sources like this run on the Business plan.
How do I enter our actual sailings and docks?
After forking, type your departure times into the next-sailing widget — it counts down to the soonest one and loops. The dock row and notices row are simple message lists, so dock A, vehicle lanes, and early-arrival rules are one edit each.
Can the board alternate with fares or safety information?
Yes — add a second scene with fares, parking, or safety copy and give each scene its own duration. The terminal display rotates through them unattended, so sailings reappear every cycle without anyone touching the screen.
What does it cost to run this in a terminal?
Building and previewing the board is free. Playing it live on the terminal TV needs a paid plan starting at $8/mo, and the wind data widget specifically requires the Business plan for live JSON sources.
