Temperature@lert recently released its latest sensor offering, a probe that monitors both temperature and humidity in one small device. When Google or Microsoft or IBM put in a new data center, environmental monitoring is a significant piece of the enterprise security and monitoring system incorporated into the facility. By monitoring environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity among a host of others factors these companies head off any potential damaging conditions caused by problems with their HVAC and chilled water cooling systems.
While not on the same scale as these giants, tens of thousands of small and mid-sized companies with small, medium and even large computer, server and telecom rooms run the same potential risks. Historically, intermittent AC problems have led many companies to employ low cost temperature monitoring to alert them when electrical power or equipment malfunctions have shut down their AC systems. Recently, low cost, advanced temperature and humidity sensors have made it possible to bring cost-effective humidity monitoring to these same companies. Temperature@lert’s newly released WiFi220 now supports humidity measurement.
