is there a way to stream printer information online?

hi, i was thinking. is there some way to send printer information online, things like temperature, work percentage ect? it would be nice! so i can see what is happening to my printer when i'm not there!
for now i found a way to stream photos from the webcam and actually this is very nice! a look every 1-2 hours relaxes my mind ahahah.
serious, any way?

Check out OctoPrint.

This gives you a web interface to your printer. You can then enable its password feature, open up a port in your internet router, and then view things remotely. If you printer control board supports it, you could even add a relay to turn the power supply on and off, put a custom gcode command in you slicer to work it, and then upload and start a print remotely.

Oh, and it has built in webcam support.
