Using a PIR sensor along with a non contact temperature sensor to monitor the inside of the box seeing if it is occupied and if there's chicks in the box. Using a XIAO ESP32S3 & Wio-SX1262 Kit (LORA esp32) that may be connected to The Things Network or Meshtastic to retrieve the data. Sensors stored in a 3D printed box on the lid of the bird house.
