Re: chep snmp temperature sensors

I've searched the archives, and didn't see anything current.

I am looking for a small, cheap, simply device, that can measure temp and
be polled via SNMP. POE would be a plus.

Any pointers?

This is a bit of a late reply, but it appears that there is a
reasonably inexpensive solution that I had not found when I
originally replied to this message:

There are serial versions and ethernet-based versions. The serial
version looks simple enough even to connect to the console of a Cisco
for remote access via a script, and the ethernet version doesn't
appear too complex, either. (Does a standard Cisco AUX port provide
DTR power?) The downside is that they're not SNMP-capable directly;
an intermediate glue routine would need to be written.



You can find Nagios (a popular Open-Source monitoring platform)
plug-ins for these devices here:
