I'm already polling these via SNMP, and they also have alarm and relay contacts. They can handle quite a few digital/analog sensors as well. Pretty nice units. On Thu, May 5, 2016 at 9:10 PM, Eric Kuhnke wrote: > there are 1wire protocol temperature sensors that you can

there are 1wire protocol temperature sensors that you can spread around a place for very cheap... http://www.finnie.org/2010/03/07/external-temperature-monitoring-with-linux/ basically a serial bus/hub talking to all the ibutton devices. you can connect them over cheap cat5e utp or even alarm

This Honeywell gateway, model/datasheet? It speaks SNMP over IP and ethernet? I've sort of given up trying to monitor things like ACs directly and rather use the air intake temperatures from the SNMP MIBs for things like Cisco routers in a POP. Or Juniper or whatever. I can't copy and paste it

Mitsubishi all the way, you can use a honeywell gateway to view your temp and receive alerts via internet and on your phone. http://www.mitsubishipro.com/en/professional/products/cooling-only-systems#5305 Use a Diamond Dealer, i think you get a 5 year warranty. Erich Kaiser North Central Tower

I really like them. Quieter than window shakers. Cheaper than a central system. Much cheaper than a Bard type double opening the wall industrial unit. From: Eric Kuhnke Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2016 3:58 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Mini split A/C Yes, all of the good quality

Yes, all of the good quality ones only use the remote to set the desired goal temperature, they run if the remote is entirely absent. Also all of the good quality ones resume their previous setting after a power outage (ex: if you have it set to 22C goal intake temperature and high fan speed,

The ones we have (Mitsubishi and "Trane") both run without the remotes. The "Trane" has a small LCD and buttons so you can control without the remote. The Mitsubishi has buttons also, but I don't remember what all it allows you to change. The remotes can be used as remote thermostats if you chose
