01 / Context
The problem
Beekeepers needed an affordable way to monitor hive weight and environmental readings remotely without depending on a closed commercial platform.
02 / Build
The approach
A plug-and-play Raspberry Pi system reads GPIO sensors, exposes configuration through a local web UI, and sends measurements to ThingSpeak for visualisation.
03 / Highlights
What is inside
- Custom Raspberry Pi OS images
- Modular sensor support
- 1,000+ beekeeper users
