The BroodMinder-SubHub is a Bluetooth range extender and data vault built to simplify hive monitoring across multiple BroodMinder devices. Compact — about the size of a TV remote — it streamlines how data is collected, stored, and transmitted, making it easier and faster to manage hive information in the field. Key Features and Benefits Data storage: Wakes every 10 minutes to collect and store readings from all nearby BroodMinder devices. Fast transfers: Turbo-transfer protocol uploads a month of data from 50 devices in just 2 minutes. Extended range: Re-transmits real-time data up to 1,000 feet (330 meters). Time saving: Eliminates the need to connect to each individual sensor — sync from the SubHub instead. Hub mode option: Use with an old cell phone running the Apiary app in Hub Mode (premium $54/yr subscription required). Compact design: Small, lightweight unit about the size of a TV remote. Detailed Description The SubHub acts as both a data collector and signal booster for your apiary. Every 10 minutes, it automatically wakes and gathers data from all nearby BroodMinder devices, storing it so you can sync your phone with the SubHub instead of connecting to each sensor individually. With its turbo-transfer protocol, the SubHub can transfer a month of data from 50 devices in just 2 minutes, cutting the time you spend managing hive records. It also works as a Bluetooth range extender, re-transmitting hive data up to 1,000 feet (330 meters) away. Pair it with an older smartphone running the Apiary app in Hub Mode to view real-time hive data at low cost — note that Hub Mode is a premium feature requiring a $54/year subscription. One tradeoff to know: the BroodMinder-WiFi doesn't connect to the SubHub due to power limitations. Specifications: Device type: Bluetooth range extender + data vault Wake interval: 10 minutes Data capacity: Stores and transfers from up to 50 devices Transfer speed: 1 month of data in 2 minutes Range: Up to 1,000 feet (330 meters) Size: Approx. the size of a TV remote See our Live Hive Scale Data and read more about our hive data setup.
