Scootercam will move to GlowHost webhosting; the account is being set up now. That’s where I’ll work on Scootercam’s WordPress plugins and theme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The main weather plugin will handle 90% of the weather data on the website. It fetches data for our location from Visual Crossing and other sources and creates (among other things) the 24-hour and 7-day forecast tables. Even without any local thermometers or other weather instruments, we can have a functioning weather website with this data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The weather station plugin lets us install an internet-connected home weather system, and use its data on the website. Usually that’s five things: temperature, humidity, pressure, wind direction, and wind speed. We don’t have the hardware yet (that’s a 2026 project) but essentially, this plugin brings the home weather station’s data to the internet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The thermometer plugin lets us use Raspberry Pi-powered remote thermometers. These are unique, home-built devices that may or may not make the cut. For now, anyway, they’re working and giving us useful numbers. When (not if) the Raspberry Pi devices fail, we can just deactivate the plugin and be done with it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. A set of plugins manage the pictures and videos. Like the thermometer plugin, this plugin requires hardware at the lake – one or more cameras that have schedules and tasks, like creating a sunset timelapse. The plugin doesn’t manage any of that, it simply assembles the parts when they are received.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That’s it, really – these plugins will make Scootercam sustainable! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
