Key features
Cellular IoT
LTE‑M connectivity for remote yards without Wi‑Fi.
Secure access
Email login, password reset, and role‑based admin controls.
Real‑time insight
Charts and alerts for temp, humidity, and acoustic trends.
Solar-ready power
12V panel → charge controller → LiPo battery → node.
Serviceable design
GX16 connector harness and printable in‑hive sensor sled.
Cloud dashboard
Hosted Flask app with protected /admin and user roles.
System architecture
- In‑hive sensor sled measures temp, humidity, and acoustic levels.
- Main node (LTE‑M) aggregates data and posts to secure API endpoints.
- Backend stores readings; auth routes manage users and RBAC.
- Dashboard shows live charts, device health, and alert rules.

FAQ
Does it work without Wi‑Fi?
Yes. It uses LTE‑M for backhaul.
Is the power system off‑grid?
Yes. Panel → charge controller → LiPo → node.
Can I add more sensors later?
The harness and firmware are designed to be extensible.
Is there user management?
Yes—email login, password reset, and role‑based access.
