Internet of Things (and solar)

[Johnmahon]

Hey everyone, if you are like me, one of the reasons you got into solar was to tinker with technology and learn some cool things along the way. One thing I particularly like is how I can integrate my solar shed into the Internet of Things and really geek out - it is so much fun! The video below is part 1 in a 2 part series where I go over all the Internet of Things (IoT) devices connected to the Internet, all powered by solar so I can remote control every aspect of my off grid solar shed. Be on the lookout for part 2 coming soon!

Thanks for watching!

In this video (part 1) we discuss:

1) Cellular Internet Connectivity (2:50)
2) Solar System Specific Devices (4:35)
3) Raspberry Pi and Victron (6:55)
4) Ambient Weather - Personal Weather Station (8:10)

@Johnmahon can you do a speed test on your pepwave with Verizon. I purchased one but the speed is 1/3 that of my phone.

Actually, Speedtest is better with the cellular router than with my iPhone 11 Max. See video below:
