Are you starting to collect data? You should, it's important for setting up a viable business. If you have some programming chops, or a willingness to learn, I can point you in the direction of some technologies that will help. Inexpensive, too.

I'd buy a NodeMCU, download the Arduino IDE configured to work with the NodeMCU(which is ESP8266 based), and then a bunch of sensors to hook up to it. The ESP8266 is a small microcontroller that can communicate to all of the sensors, and then to wifi. There's a ton of example code and tutorials out there (especially if using the Arduino IDE), and China is pumping out all sorts of cheap modules that will work with them lately. For the web side, you want a way to collect the data in a meaningful way. I recommend InfluxDB to store it, and Grafana to display it. Install both on a server (whether at home or through a hosting company). That can result in some pretty gorgeous dashboards. So that's a big data dump to drop on you. For $10, the NodeMCU and DHT22 sensor is a good way to get started on playing around. You'll be able to view data that it collects through a serial port or whatever just to play around until you decide to start being a turbonerd about it.
