Server Rack #96

Closed jmcjclark closed 4 years ago

jmcjclark commented 4 years ago

I want to monitor the temperature at 5 points in my server rack (within 3 meters of the pi). Am I able to do this on the one “server” or do I need to also setup 5 “clients.”

You can connect up to 5 sensors on each machine, regardless of whether it’s a server or client.

So you should be able to use just one server with 5 sensors. There is a limit on the length of the cables apparently, I’m not sure what it is but suspect it’s > 3m.

Check out the add-on board to make connecting the sensors easier.

One caveat: you'll have to keep note of the IDs of the individual sensors if you go this route. Until #2 is fixed (which will allow aliases)

You’re awesome! I’m looking forward to putting this together! Where can I find your add on board?
