Karl,
I believe Fort Dodge is using Ravica www.ravica.com and we are using the
"Weather Goose" http://www.itwatchdogs.com/
The "Weather Goose" is $399 and includes internal temp, humidity, light,
sound, air flow, and three "analog" inputs to monitor switches or other
0-5volt sources in a 1u rackmount box. Ours is set to email out sms text
messages when alarm thresholds are met. In our Fort Dodge server room I
also have three additional Temp sensors. Two are monitoring the output temp
of each of our ac units, and one is monitoring the room temp away from the
rack. We have been really happy with the solution and have at least 3 in
use. We use the analog inputs to monitor Utility Power, Generator run, and
AC from the main breaker panel so we can monitor any power outage as well.
The weather goose also will work with many IP cameras if you want to see the
server room. We don't use this option, but the demo looks pretty cool.

Subject: [info-tech] Server Room TEmp sensors
Due to my recent server room/sauna experiment. I am looking to find a way
to monitor the temp of my server room at all times. What are you guys
using to monitor the temps in your server rooms?

1) Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary
and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2) Anything that's invented between when you're 15 and 35 is new and
exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3) Anything invented after you're 35 is again the natural order of things
