Favorite Project
Our favorite project this week is a Server Room Temperature Monitor made by Hernan Monserrat. He used his Omega2 not only to check the temperature in an IT server room, where maintaining the temperature is important, but to also send an email notification if the temperature is rises above a configurable threshold.
Hernan wrote a Python script that takes a temperature reading once a minute and then, if the temperature is above the defined threshold, uses a library for SMTP to send an email alert. Hernan built upon the 1-Wire Temperature Sensor experiment from the Omega2 Starter Kit and even modified his Arduino Dock 2 to add the required pull-up resistor.
Awesome project Hernan! We’re excited that the Omega is making your life easier and that you’ve made a super clear and easy to follow tutorial!
