Hopefully monitoring the status of a network is on-topic. I'm looking for temperature and power monitoring unit to install in some remote BWA cabinets. We had two incidents where we lost power in a town and we weren't aware of it until the backup batter drained to empty, and another situation where the cabinet became too cold. Because these cabinets are less than 19" wide and just 3-5" deep, I need something quite small. I did find one product but it requires four components (unit with built-in temperature sensor, adapter, and AC power sensor, plus power supply) Perhaps there's someone on this list who has gone down this road and can point me to a good product. Required: - temperature sensor - 110 VAC power monitoring (on/off, not necessarily current) - Ethernet interface (at least SNMP, Web GUI and Optional: - fed via 12 VDC power - 12 VDC power monitoring (current) - humidity sensor Frank

We've got a couple of the (beta test) mini goose climate monitors installed. Takes up less space than the big APC boxes we've been using. http://www.itwatchdogs.com/ --Chris
Frank, We have had good luck with a device called TemPager (http://tempager.com/). Our specific device is used for SNMP temperature monitoring, but they also make a device that includes the ability to humidity, power, flood, room entry, etc. etc. Hope that is helpful, Josh - - - - Joshua Fiske '03, '04 Network and Security Engineer Clarkson University, Office of Information Technology (315) 268-6722 -- Fax: (315) 268-6570 GPG Key: http://clarkson.edu/~jfiske/jfiske_pub.asc jfiske@clarkson.edu CONFIDENTIALITY: This e-mail (including any attachments) may contain confidential, proprietary and privileged information, and unauthorized disclosure or use is prohibited.

Thanks. The TemPager doesn't appear to support identifying AC power failure, but that's in the Room Alert 7. The price point and features do seem reasonable.
