Mình làm việc tại một trại chăn nuôi ở ngoại thành Cao Bằng, cần theo dõi nhiệt độ Cao Bằng thường xuyên để điều chỉnh hệ thống sưởi trong chuồng vào những ngày trời trở rét đậm bất thường. Trang hiển thị số liệu theo giờ khá chi tiết, giúp quyết định nhanh có cần bật thêm đèn sưởi hay không. Giao diện rõ ràng, dễ đọc số liệu ngay cả khi đang bận công việc trong trại. Tốc độ tải nhanh, xem được ngay trên điện thoại dù sóng ở khu vực chăn nuôi không mạnh lắm. Từ khi theo dõi sát sao hơn, tình trạng vật nuôi bị stress do lạnh đột ngột cũng giảm hẳn.

Thông tin nhiệt độ theo khung giờ hiển thị rõ ràng, giúp chọn thời điểm chạy phù hợp, tránh nắng gắt hoặc mưa bất chợt. Mình cũng thích trang cung cấp thêm chỉ số chất lượng không khí, khá hữu ích với người thường vận động ngoài trời. Giao diện tối giản, không nhiều chi tiết thừa…
