Abstract

Snow melting devices in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment, a snow-melting device for melting snow and defrosting ice, may consist of a wireless transceiver module, a precipitation sensor configured to capture precipitation data from an environment, a first temperature sensor configured to capture environment temperature data, a container configured to hold melting water, where the container contains a water boiler, a release valve, and a second temperature sensor configured to capture melting water temperature data, and a processor. The processor may be operatively connected to the wireless transceiver module, the precipitation sensor, the temperature sensor, and the container, and execute a program stored in memory cause the snow-melting device to transmit a release signal to the valve when the precipitation data is above a precipitation threshold and the environmental temperature data is below the environmental temperature threshold.
