How am I supposed to say project stopped was too much expenditure for me. Then I came to your website and bought a Raspberry. After some difficulties, which all were to be solved by reading on your side, the balance runs now for 6 weeks.<br> Today I installed the new firmware in 20 min and am just building the 2 scales. The parts cost me about 120\u20ac the load cell from Bosche was the most expensive. As switch for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.honey-pi.de\/stockwaagen-bildergalerie\/\">maintenance mode a magnet switch<\/a> is built in. <\/p><cite>Michael B. &#8211; April 2019<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Thank you again for your work, hobby beekeepers like me can operate or own a stick scale to monitor their peoples! <br> Those in the trade are unfortunately for a small beekeeping too expensive and\/or not profitable. I also send you a picture <a href=\"https:\/\/www.honey-pi.de\/stockwaagen-bildergalerie\/\">where the scales have found their place in my bee chalet<\/a>! <\/p><cite>Hannes R. &#8211; February 2019<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Great work you&#8217;re doing &#8211; the first smart bee scale that you can get to work as a non-IT person. I have tried a lot of things [\u2026] but everything is much too complex. With you it works better and easier &#8211; Honey Pi has the potential to become the standard among the stock scales 2.0\u2026<\/p><cite>Martin M. &#8211; January 2019<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Was thinking for a long time whether I buy a beehive scale and if yes which one. Only honey.pi convinced me of the costs. After I bought a Raspberry Pi Zero W for 14, 50\u20ac, the Bosche load cell for about 60\u20ac and the AD-converter on ebay and some wires. I was actually under 100 \u20ac. The image could easily be copied to the SD card. I think who is not so fit with the PC can get the Image + SD card from honey-pi.de for a small contribution towards expenses. Plug the card into the Raspberry and let the system boot up 2 pins on the Raspberry bridge and I have Wlan and can set up the system. Very simple. First I was convinced by the price, then I was just thrilled. [\u2026] A beehive scale for > 200 \u20ac makes no sense for me as a hobby beekeeper. But in the end everyone has to decide for himself. I am very satisfied with honey-pi.de<\/p><cite>Daniel M. &#8211; January 2019<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HoneyPi &#8211; the smart beehive scale to build yourself.
