    I don't want to slog through documenting the whole thing unnecessarily
    So if anyone wants details of how to do it then let me know

    On your phone you can monitor your hives from anywhere but you need a wifi signal in the apiary
    hive_monitor.jpg
    There are 10 temperature sensors in first 2 and a half rows
    Then a single symbol which reports hive upright ,leaning, moving or fallen down
    Bottom row far right is humidity

    Lower half of screen has 2 graphs of readings from 8 of the sensors over a period
    This photo shows history data for a month (since I started it)
    You can choose 1hr/6hr/1day/iweek/month or 3 month and it will change to that view instantly
    I don't think I will be doing any more with it for the foreseeable future though as I have some other things I want to investigate

    Lidl have a small solar charger for mobile phones with a integrated 2200mAh 3.7V battery ... I've no idea what the weatherproofness of this unit is but for a tenner you can't go far wrong. It has a USB 5V 1000mAh out. I'm ashamed to say that this is the first thing I've done to the DIY monitoring project for about 3 months.

    I can also thoroughly recommend Lidl chocolate twists

    Nom nom nom ...
