Leak detection and physical plant/HVAC stuff is mostly "legacy" (bell and flashing lights) in the Ops room. Latest project has been deploying Websensors (http://www.eesensors.com/WebsensorEM01B.html) distributed around the room. We also have a few prototype boards, sort of like a netbotz without the camera, that were done as a senior project for an EE student a few years back... actually quite stable and useful.
In smaller TCs/ERs, i.e. anything one room with a few racks, we generally either have a netbot plus whatever addon for the UPS or, if we have a services machine deployed there (Linux box for dhcp/dns/remote access) we use a Dalls One-Wire adapter with some sensors, accessed through OWFS on that box and monitored in Nagios. -J.
