Anybody out there electronically monitoring their computer rooms? We are interested in adding remote temperature sensors in some offsite location communication rooms. We'd like to hook them into a serial port on our Suns (or maybe even into a cheap PC) and then query the Sun or PC. Does anybody out there have any experience doing this? What sort of hardware is out there? What about software? I've heard of hardware that uses the protocol(?) TBOF. Where would I find software to interact with one of these devices? What would be great would be some PD code that I could hack into an SNMP agent (probably using the ISODE SMUX stuff) that would allow quering and sending back alarms. Wonder if there's anything like this already out there? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
