Firmware Upgrade for the Hive Scale
Enjoy regular updates for the hive scale and always stay up to date with the latest advances in beekeeping
Modern technology is wonderful, but the problem is that it is constantly changing. You can buy the newest device on the market and in a few months something newer and better will appear. The same was true in the world of hive scales.
Or rather — it used to be. The BeeScale.io hive scale brings a significant improvement in this area: it offers continuous firmware updates and delivers new and improved features.
The central unit of BeeScale.io is the heart of the scale. It is a small computer that can connect to the Internet via its built-in SIM card. And like any other computer, it can receive updates with the latest firmware version.
By updating the firmware you can continually add new functions and features to your scale and keep it current with the latest innovations and developments. This means your hive scale can remain comparable to the newest products on the market. Updating the firmware is quick and simple: you only need to connect your scale to your computer and upload the new firmware. We have prepared a step-by-step guide to help you get started.
Get your BeeScale.io today and enjoy years of new and improved features.
