The checksum is two ASCII hexadecimal digits and represents an 8-bit
acclamation of the ASCII characters from the prefix to the suffix,
inclusive.
All monitored parameters, including temperature, oxygen, humidity, and
weight, transmit at the 5-second interval. Asynchronous events, such
as alarms or mode changes, transmit as they occur.
