I’ve been playing with home monitoring since before I first owned a house, but I’ve not been very good at keeping notes. Recently I’ve started to get interested in solar panels for the house, and I’d like to be able to get data off them but it doesn’t seem to be obvious which kit makes this easy (without using companies cloud services, which I don’t really want to do), so I’m starting to make notes here....

Some of them might get their own pages eventually. Early timelapse experiments After I bought my first digital camera (A Fuji S500 I think) I spent ages glueing together gPhoto2 to try and take timelape photos using a laptop + cron + a long USB cable....

Bring the noise $(document).ready(function() { $('#play-video').on('click', function(ev) { $("#video")[0].src += "&autoplay=1"; debugger; var counter=1; var myVar = setInterval(myTimer, 7000); function myTimer() { console.log("#video"+counter); $("#video"+counter)[0].src += "&autoplay=1"; counter++; console.log("#video"+counter); } if(counter==9){ clearInterval(myVar); } ev.preventDefault(); }); }); ...
