RE: My yearly post about environmental monitoring devices

["Roy" <garlic () garlic com>]

I was at a trade show yesterday and they had some interesting boxes for
remote control.  They don't meet your spec but someone might be interested.
This box has serial and digital control connections but works via GPRS
rather than Ethernet.  Makes an interesting back door that could be
independent of any other connections you have.

Subject: My yearly post about environmental monitoring devices




I'm sure if you peruse the archives, you'll see that I post about this
about every year. The answer to your question is 'No, I haven't found what
I am looking for yet.'

However, the quest I am on is slightly different.

I am looking for a device that meets the following criteria.


a) Reasonably small. This probably wouldn't be rack mounted; it'd be wall
mounted, desk mounted, celing mounted, etc.

b) Powered by PoE.

c) Is SNMPable over Ethernet. NOT RS232 or serial, or anything archaic
like that. Not MODBUS. It's 2004, people.

d) Provides Temperature and Humidity.

e) Has 4 or so input contact sensors (connections to AC units, etc.)

f) Has 4 or so output contact sensors.


Help.
