From what I understood, th->sensor is set to what you specify in "Sensor" input field in options.
First there is check if auto_sensor is set, and if it is not, it will do series of other checks.
Breaking down this part, if your sensor path does not inlude /sys/ in it, it will use proc_get functions, which is outdated acpi type sensor that is not used in new versions of Ubuntu. Otherwise, if your path includes /sys/class/hwmon it will use hwmon functions, and finally if it is other type of /sys/*, it will use sysfs type of sensor.
Based on that we can conclude that easiest way would be to specify sensor located in /sys/class/thermal/, for example /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1. If we would go with /sys/class/hwmon/, it would not pick right sensor anyway, because there is no way to specify exact temp[i]_input to be used, and if we would use non /sys/ directory, it would assume we using outdated acpi/thermal_zone, which is not ideal as well. You could create script that will create fake sensor directory in your home folder with 2 files, trip_points and temperature.trip_points would look like this and does not matter much:
The Lake Shore single-channel Model 211 temperature monitor provides a benchtop temperature monitor's accuracy, resolution, and interface features in an easy-to-use, easily integrated, compact instrument. With appropriate sensors, the Model 211 measures temperature from 1.4 K to 800 K, including temperatures in high vacuum and magnetic fields. Alarms, relays, user-configurable analog voltage or current output, and a serial interface are standard features on the Model 211. It is a good choice for liquefied gas storage and monitoring, cryopump control, cryo-cooler, and materials science applications, and applications requiring greater accuracy than thermocouples allow. More about the Model 211...
Typically (but not always) devices without a fan don't have a MIB or monitoring capabilities, this is industry wide and is a physical limitation not something in software. There are temp alerts on our Meraki MS switches that will come through via syslog/event log, just no way of pulling this information via MIB.
While I like the sound of this I do suggest that if your equipment is critical you should invest in a proper monitored temp sensor. We have them in all of our server rooms. We currently use Temp@lerts products but if Meraki decided to get into this space I would be happy to change.
We use room alert. it allows texts, emails, etc., and we also monitor for water at the floor in rooms below grade. We also have a sensor in the AC fan unit that monitors the flow of cool air in to the computer room, a monitor for electric system supply outage, and humidity, and door monitors. roomalert.com
The B100 Series Electronic Temperature Monitor (ETM) is a complete monitoring solution for any distribution, transmission or generation transformer. The B100 ETM is an analog gauge replacement that provides accurate indication of problems inside the transformer via fault gas detection. Additionally, add on a hydrogen sensor and/or moisture sensor for an all-in-one, low-cost solution that provides remote notification of any problems detected.
The cast aluminum, powder coated enclosure is designed to be rugged and durable to protect against harsh environments created by water, dirt, dust and temperature extremes. It is treated with a chromate conversion process that helps the B100 have a long life expectancy (20+ years), even in harsh environments. Additionally, no calibration is required to maintain accuracy.
Excessive moisture in the insulating paper of the windings will reduce the dielectric strength and also reduce the partial discharge inception voltage. As a result, the transformer is more susceptible to faults. By monitoring moisture as well as temperature values provided by the B100 ETM, customers can detect problematic conditions within the transformer far before a fault occurs.
The Dynamic Ratings moisture sensor is a compact solution for monitoring moisture in oil. It is equipped with an RS-485 Modbus output with programmable Baud Rate, and also supports two 4-20mA outputs for Oil Temperature, and Water Activity or Water Content.
I have several locations that we are looking at installing humidity/temperature monitors in. The solution must be cloud-based with a reporting dashboard and simplicity is preferable. What do you all use and what system would your recommend and why?
I've used these for temp monitoring they are POE the humidity monitor would be an extra $100 add on sensor. Has a cloud interface and you are allowed to calibrate the temperature reading from the cloud portal. Overall a great device.
If you would be interested in a solution that would allow you to monitor more than just environmental monitoring units, Schneider Electric's EcoStruXure system is a vendor neutral cloud based monitoring solution for UPS, cooling and APC's NetBotz systems that will monitor environmental sensors as well as leak sensors and cameras if that would be a value to you. This may be more complex than you are seeking, however, it would offer more monitoring options. If you would like to speak with someone about our EcoStruXure and NetBotz devices, please private message me your complete contact information including company name, address, phone number and location where you would be installing the monitoring solution. I will link our EcoStruXure and NetBotz information below for you to look at:
Body temperature is among the classical vital signs, and for good reason, since thermal perturbations both cause and indicate disease. Aside from infectious fever, hypothermia during surgery is the most common temperature disturbance. Temperature monitoring and thermal management are therefore key responsibilities for anesthesia professionals. Detailed reviews of thermoregulation,1 heat balance,2 and consequences and treatment of hypothermia3 have been published in this journal. There are dozens of clinical indications for temperature measurement, but this review will focus on those most relevant to anesthesia.
Body temperature is not homogeneous.5 The thermal core consists of highly perfused central tissues, mostly the trunk and head, that have a relatively homogeneous and high temperature.6 But even the core is not uniform; for example, liver temperature is about a degree Celsius greater than most other core tissues. Core temperature is therefore the average temperature of core tissues, perhaps best represented by pulmonary artery blood temperature. Core temperature does not fully characterize body temperature, but it is the single most important temperature because it is the dominant input to autonomic thermoregulatory control7 and is probably the major determinant of temperature-related complications.
In hospital environments, the arms and legs are usually 2 to 4C cooler than the core, and the skin surface is yet cooler. Skin temperature varies considerably as a function of ambient temperature, air speed, and peripheral perfusion.8,9 A downward thermal gradient from the core to peripheral tissues to the skin surface is necessary so that heat generated in the core can flow to the skin and be dissipated to the environment.
Muscle or skin surface temperatures can be used to evaluate vasomotion.9 Cool nerves and muscles respond poorly to ulnar nerve stimulation. Hand skin temperature is therefore usually monitored during neuromuscular block studies.10 Skin temperature can also help evaluate sympathetic blocks, and to assess regional inflammation and perfusion. Muscle temperatures are also used to determine peripheral compartment temperatures and regional distribution of body heat.5 Mean body temperature can be estimated from the combination of mean skin and core temperatures.11
Core temperature monitoring is appropriate during most general anesthetics both to facilitate detection of malignant hyperthermia and to quantify hyperthermia and hypothermia. Malignant hyperthermia is best detected by an increase in end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide out of proportion to minute ventilation.12 But while core temperature is not the first sign of a malignant hyperthermia crisis, it helps confirm the diagnosis. For example, Larach et al. estimated that the risk of dying after a malignant hyperthermia crises was an order of magnitude higher in unmonitored patients, presumably because temperature monitoring facilitated speedy diagnosis.13
Recognizing that temperature monitoring may be impractical during short cases, the general consensus is that core temperature should be measured when general anesthesia exceeds 30 min. Core temperature should similarly be monitored when neuraxial anesthesia exceeds 30 min. In contrast, sedation and peripheral nerve blocks only minimally impair thermoregulatory control and rarely produce substantive hypothermia. Furthermore, neither approach triggers malignant hyperthermia. Temperature monitoring is thus not normally required during sedation or for peripheral nerve blocks.
The word thermometer is derived from the Greek thermos (meaning hot) and metron (meaning measure). Several inventors, most notably Galileo Galilei, developed thermometers at the end of the 16th century. However, none of these devices were calibrated and could therefore only be used to estimate relative temperature differences.
Although the Fahrenheit scale is still used in the United States and a few small countries, most of the world uses the scale developed by astronomer Anders Celsius, which is also referred to as the centigrade scale because it divides temperatures between the freezing and boiling points of water into a hundred degrees. The only other commonly used scale, again eponymous, was developed by Lord Kelvin; it sets 0K at absolute zero but otherwise uses degrees of the same magnitude as the Celsius scale.
Although fever has been recognized as a sign of illness since antiquity, thermometry was not incorporated into clinical practice until 1868, when Carl Wunderlich published temperature measurements on more than 25,000 patients, correctly concluding that normal body temperature typically varies 0.5C from about 37C.
