Heat Index Tracking

+1.
Cali, IL, TX, and others are adding Heat Index Tracking Requirements. It would be awesome to offer a built-in option for Dragino Temp+Humidity sensors that could spit out a heat index calculation that could be used for alerts.

Notes from Jarvis with more context.
Oregon has specific employment regulations regarding heat index thresholds. Therefore, we analyze heat index (real feel temperature) to ensure restaurants meet compliance or we must implement additional employee benefits (additional breaks, water, first aid training, etc.)
I purchased the temp & humidity sensor hoping to ultimately use the formula function to automatically generate the heat index. This information is recorded on temperature logs throughout the day to ensure a human is reviewing the information and we are legally required to provide documentation on inspection if necessary.
If the sensor could monitor heat index 24/7 and send notification alerts, that would be ideal!

Michael: Bumping this up. Our restaurant system experienced multiple heat related closures this summer. Having real time monitoring is essential for our business to ensure employee satisfaction and keep morale high. Thank you for considering this project for use in 2024.
