Why this is needed
We want our devices as well as customer’s own hack-projects to be able to stream data to us so that
- beekeepers can track their apiaries in 📊Analytics with grafana dashboards
- beekeepers can correlate data to get insights
- we can generate ⚠️Alerts
Low volume metrics that 👁️🗨️Entrance Observer can send to 📱Web-app
- temperature (min interval - 10 min)
- humidity (min interval - 10 min) - see 💧Humidity monitoring
- weight (min interval - 10 min) → 📊Beep.nl weight telemetry integration
- bee counts at the hive entrance (min interval - 10 sec)
- how many worker bees have gone in and out
- how many of them had varroa mite
- how many of them had pollen
- how many guard bees are detected
- how many drone bees are detected
- how many queen bees are detected → 👑Detect queen mating from entrance video
- how many worker bees have gone in and out
- hornet count (min interval 10 sec) → ⚠️Hornet attack detection
- audio noise average volume (min interval - 1 sec)
- this should not be confused with actual audio stream that would be sent with 🎤6-channel audio monitoring as part of 🧿Robotic Beehive, because 👁️🗨️Entrance Observer has limited amount of USB ports so we can’t have mics there
AC
- provide a flexible graphQL API in telemetry-api to store timeseries metrics
- store this data into timeseries DB, ex. InfluxDB. Alternatively maybe look at prometheus. If too hard, fallback to MySQL.
- play with 📊Analytics with grafana to be able to display graphs
