This isn't exactly what you are seeking, but I'm interested in the same
things you are and looking to continue development of what I've already
done:
http://tricolour.net/smart_panel.html
I've got water meters and solenoid valves to add water monitoring...
I have yet to upload my code to github.

There is also a project that three of us at CREDIL.org are working on to
add a control element to the monitoring, called "protein".  We've got
several prototypes made and just had a run of 10 PCBs made:
https://code.credil.org/projects/protein

Contributions to either project would be welcome.  They are intended to
be open hardware.

Yeah actually I am familiar with that.   In my last job at the Ottawa
Hospital Research Institute I
had a high school coop for 6 weeks and he implemented a rack
temperature probe system
based on OWFS, 1-wire, and a 1-wire USB dongle plugged into a linux
box.  I actually
spent a fair bit of time last night looking for his code on GitHub
because I know we
encouraged him to open source it and I know he put it there.  But I
could not find it.
It was python based.

Wikipedia mentions OWFS, 1_wire file system. Maybe that could be a starting 
point. Or the JavaButtons given out in 1998.

[OCLUG-Tech] Anyone know of an open source rack monitoring project?

2016-09-21 Thread Alan McKay
Hi folks,

I am looking at possibly using 1-wire stuff with rPi to put together a
system that will send SNMP traps for different physical events in the
datacenter.   Like door-open and what-not.  Maybe add some 1-wire
temperature sensors.

I did a fair bit of googling last night (over an hour) and could not
find anything existing specific to this.  I might be interested in
starting such a project though I'd really like to know for sure first
whether or not there is something existing.  I'd sooner support an
existing project than start my own.

thanks,
-Alan
