Does anyone have a decent temperature sensors that can connect to an OpenBSD server and be reliable and give any decent reading via either USB or Serial port or even stand alone via Ethernet?
I asked because yes I can use the sensors on some servers, but I got a pretty expensive router blowing up because an AC unit stop working and in a few hours the router was history and I need something reliable so I can graph the changes in temperature to keep track of things. I got lucky this time as that using was providing 192 VoIP channels and I had just moved them from PRI to full SIP like a month earlier. If I haven't done that it would have been a disaster for me! So, I need more then just servers sensors so I can place these at various location to get a better idea of what's going on. I don't understand why it is so difficult to have decent AC technician keep AC units working properly. It's not like brain surgery, but that's always a problem. Anything you know or use that is reliable that you can recommend would be very much appreciated. I am trying to keep it simple, so using base tools in OpenBSD is a must, no proprietary shit or Windows crap like I found tonnes of them. I have NO Windows systems for 20+ years already and I am sure hell not going to install any either. I try to keep it simple. Even snmp reading is find. Simpler the better. I can grab the reading and save to a database to graph later and what not. I got two self standing units in the pass, nice but they get hacked and not useful obviously, so add-on to OpenBSD is better to me. I trust that way more then all the self standing units, records proving it... If that's no interest for the list fell free to reply off line as well, but I guess some might like to know too. Thanks in advance for any suggestions... Daniel
