Remote Temp Sensor: any ideas?

rlawsha

We have about a dozen remote sites and I would like to monitor the temperature at those sites. Each site has a rack and I would like to know the temp in those racks and be warned when it exceeds a certain level. In our MDF we use NetBotz but that is too expensive a silution for the remote sites. I am looking for a deive that does temp monitoring only, has an IP address and can report the data to Solar Winds via SNMP.

 If you have or need a UPS at those remote sites APC has a relatively low cost solution for monitoring your UPS as well as ambient temperature/humidity using the Smart Slot found on almost all APC SmartUPS.

We are monitoring many of these AP9619 using Orion and the Custom MIB Poller. It works great and is less expensive then a NetBotz, which we also use in our MDF.
