Where granular temperature readings are available to control scripts, it would also be possible to implement something like the tiers described below. Adjust thresholds as deemed appropriate for the facility and equipment, and also for the expected rates of temperature rise. System peformance throt

I was assuming the EPO trigger is a circuit that is normally OPEN and is closed when the button is pushed. If instead, it is a normally-CLOSED circuit, then you are correct, you would want two thermostats that both OPENED when the temperature rose, which would typically be HEATING thermostats, not

We considered this approach, but we wanted to have notifications precede shut down, and give a remote support person the ability to prevent the shut down. Our SNMP based system gives us that option. -mel > On May 27, 2019, at 11:16 AM, Brian Kantor wrote: > > A simple air conditioner thermo

We use Intermapper, an SNMP network monitoring system, which supports UNIX scripting. Intermapper probes two Weathergoose temperature sensors, and calls a script with the values it retrieves. When both sensors exceed a certain threshold, the script sends an snmp relay trip signal to the Weatherg

A simple air conditioner thermostat wired to the EPO switch. For safety, wire two thermostats in series so BOTH have to trip before power is shut off. Note that the EPO rarely does an orderly shutdown, but then this is a sort of an emergency. - Brian On Mon, May 27, 2019 at 02:00:39PM -0

Hi,Is anyone aware of a device that will cut the power if the room goes above X degrees? I am looking for something as a just in case.
