๐ฅ Hive heating
Idea is to have hive heated from the bottom to combat varroa. For winter time this may also help in case of harsh degrees
Suggested solutionโ
- Create a microservice (with AGPL license) that would run on the edge device
- use one of the standard languages - Tech stack, conventions, environments
- Measure temperature in close-to-realtime
- Send data to Telemetry API at least every 10 min
- Store data in-memory
- Heating controll (probably same microservice, just different thread)
- poll temperature
- If temperature is too high - turn heating off
- If its too low - turn heating on
- Min/max temperature configuration
- Allow user to set min/max heating temperature
- Allow user to turn off heater entirely
- Decide if Ventilation control feature would be a separate service or part of the same
- keep hive internals at constant 32-35.5 C in case of too-warm
