Monday, watching my live Generation (Solar + ESS) and Net Usage via Karotz - a webcam electronic pet at home - I thought I should share these information with all, to show that when the live effect of Solar and my Energy Storage System on our Home Power Consumption
Looking for a live standalone webcam solution I finally selected this Logitech Broadcaster cam, which connects directly to my internet router at home and broadcasts the live stream through UStream
Few days after, the package arrives and after an easy set up with my Mac - can be done with the iPhone or iPad also -, the live stream started
After moving the 2 Wattson units downstairs, I ended stacking them like you can see on the picture, pointing the webcam towards them and hit the Broadcast top button ...
I eventually found the embed HTML code on my newly created UStream channel called DIY ESS Live Cam and put it on blogger
DIY ESS Live Cam via UStream is now visible on my two blogs, http://www.myelifenow.com and http://www.diyesskit.com
