Looks like it just monitors temperature, humidity and whether the hive has been moved. For hobbyists it relies on a WiFi connection. The "professional" version for hobbyists and commercials, will work on solar power and mobile network.

so nothing much of any practical use - apart from (maybe) telling you if the hive has been stolen, probably well after the event.
