Assuming you have a pretty steady environment normally so can set tight 
thresholds, probably.  We have the EM08T and it's pretty sensitive.  
There is another company, http://www.itwatchdogs.com/,  that has a smoke 
alarm available for their systems.

Be careful. What if the fire is started in the wiring under the floor tiles
or inside a cabinet. Usually fire detection is based on temperature _and_
smoke detection.

Re: [Nagios-users] looking for hardware sensors

We've bought TemPageR from Avtech temperature sensors but they also have 
humidity an others, very inexpensive, they will try to sell you support an a 
console and what have you, you have that anyways for a year. The nice thing 
about these is that it has a RJ45 connection, don't know if they have wireless, 
but even a better thing is that they have a telnet backdoor which once you 
connect yourself into, throws the reading of the current sensors. We scripted 
an expect script to catch the telnet output and have that integrated with 
Nagios, works beautifully. 

Check it out, and if interested shoot me a Request for the scripts and I'll be 
glad to share them. Other options? Sure SMNP based, but quite expensive.

Subject: [Nagios-users] looking for hardware sensors 

I'm looking for some cheap hardware usb/wifi sensors that are supported 
in Linux to provide: 
- temperature 
- humidity 
- water/flood 
- smoke/fire 

Some all-in-one devices would work as well as long as they aren't too 
expensive. Otherwise I will have to run them off something like guruplug. 

Here is some for temperature, humidity and water sensors (~$200):

I haven't found anything for smoke/fire. 

Does anyone know of any that work in Linux?

Esensors' EM01B units (http://www.eesensors.com/WebsensorEM01B.html) are
checked via http, so platform is irrelevant.

They also check illumination; if the area that you want checked is
constantly lit (or unlit) you could check for a rising light level that
flames would cause.  It's a stretch, I know, but the sensors are cheap
and work well.

Cheers
Steve

Not everything that you are looking for but these were cheep (ebay
job, or other sites directly)

http://www.pcsensor.com/index.php?_a=viewProdproductId=15

and worked really well under linux with this perl module...

http://search.cpan.org/~msulland/Device-USB-PCSensor-HidTEMPer-0.0201/

they do one with a hygrometer too

I've seen these before, a little pricey but I'm considering them.  Would 
the light sensors really detect a fire?  There must be some sensors 
specifically for fire/smoke out there.
