I will second Robert's thoughts on these. I picked up 14 sensors (12 temp, 2 humidity) and the SNMP module for under $500. The only hiccup I had was by default the unit had selected the wrong temp sensor type but dck.sk's support answered quickly. The included CDROM has a sample MRTG config, MIBs and some Windows app to SNMP query the unit. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Boyle" <robert@tellurian.com> To: <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Monday, September 22, 2003 9:10 PM Subject: Cheap temperature sensors
From time to time this thread pops up. I found something which looked interesting and the price was right. I bought one and WOW! It is VERY impressive stuff for any price especially considering how cheap it was. I purchased 10 individual temperature sensors and two temp/humidity sensors, and the SNMP Ethernet module. From unpacking the box to installing the eight sensors in the inlet and outlet ducting of our four A/C units, two more to the inside of two server racks and yet two more to the UPS and general rack areas for ambient temp/humidity monitoring to setting up MRTG graphing and SNMP traps total time was under 4 hours! Very nice stuff. It works out of the box with minimal setup and no fabrication, or development/programming needed. All of this for $445.00 delivered!!! I'm going to order a spare because I like the equipment so much and it is so
cheap.
