I finished the first version of my hive monitor here. it's running in test mode for now, and it's not at all optimised so it's slow (bee patient if you decide to look).
It captures temperature measurements for each of two hives, in the brood, above the brood box and on top of the coverboard. It also captures the humidity on the coverboard. There's also an infrared camera streaming video so you can see the girls doing whatever they do - I certainly cannot work out what they're up to. The framerate is 4fps which is fine for here, but I suspect it will be much slower from elsewhere.
I intend to add weight sensors to this, but it has so far cost under €30 per hive.
