Hello

Is the moonphase everywhere the same on earth? Location does not matter?

Would be nice on my thermostat Http://www.Arduino.TK

Yes and no.

For example.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_moon

Full moon is defined as the moment the center of the sun, the center of the earth and the center of the moon are in line. (or 180° out of phase which is the same) So to calculate you use UTC which is the time at the center of the earth.

But the apparent full moon time varies just a little depended on where you are on earth. The same goes for any other moment during a moon phase. But this difference is minuscule.
