Networking Humidity and Temperature


  • HVAC (Heating, ventilation, air conditioning) use temperature sensors and moisture detection sensors
  • servers and appliances have internal sensors to monitor within the device chassis
    • report temp., fan speeds, component failure, chassis intrusion
  • Monitor these environmental factors:
    • temperature
      • can lead to overheating
    • humidity
      • high can lead to corrosion and short circuit faults
      • low can lead to static charge build up and damage
    • electrical
      • need stable power supply
      • free from voltage dips
      • free from voltage spikes and surges
    • flooding
