it would depend on the tollerance's window allowed. RS can supply highly accurate ones.

the digital type like the Drayton Digital 3 may be accurate enough. they also do a radio version so you can place the 'head' where you like for best effect (steady boys )

My company have an IP dialler called DigiNet that has analogue inputs for temperature monitoring. It also has digital inputs if you decide to trigger it with a temperature device that has a relay. Either way, it will send an alarm signal to a central station or alert you directly via email. It also has digital outputs that would allow you (or a CS operator) to log in and switch on backup devices via your web browser if required.

Some of my customers use it with network monitoring software products like 'Nagios' or 'What's up Gold' as the outgoing alarm message of the DigiNet is customisable.

Hope this helps.

You can get the same unit from HERE

We did this yesterday

One Net2 I/O board, a thermostat and a patch lead and we now get an SMS message if the server room temperature exceeds the maximum.

Modern electronic thermostats are very accurate, cheap and reliable, so no problem with them. Can you still get the old bi-metallic type?

Thanks for the idea!
