RE: Server room monitoring/alerts SOLVED
Just wanted to follow up on this, I took Kevin's advice and went with a full ITWatchdog system. It installed in a couple of hours and for 2 grand I have a bunch of temp/humidity/dew point monitors, water on the floor monitor, smoke/fire monitor and door open monitor. It emails calls with voice mail but I could set up sms gateway and text. It also emails and has a full web interface. Multiple triggers so I have emails on minor events and custom voice mails on major events depending upon what is going wrong. I had one question during install and tech support responded to my email in under an hour with the info I needed. And that would have been unneeded if I had rtfm better. Ship time was very fast and they communicated status without being asked several times during that process. Thanks Kevin, much appreciated.

Anyone have any opinions on room environment monitoring. Nothing fancy a simple standalone system that monitors power and temp and humidity that sends texts.

RE: Server room monitoring/alerts
Get a monitoring solution to cover the temp/humidity/water intrusion on the floor, plug it into a switch that only shares a connection to a (laptop) computer either tethered to a phone or with a wireless card installed to send the SMS messages. All of the elements need to be powered by a dedicated UPS so it's an isolated system.
