ybox2 thermometer?

[fluffy]

Hi all, google hasn't helped me yet. Does anyone know if there have been any ybox2 thermometers yet? I'm looking at making one for our server room which can email us when it gets too hot, and our CEO won't let us buy a commercial product ($300+). We've already had our AC units shut off once this year, which brought our server room up from 65f to 85f in about 30 minutes, and our servers started shutting off and crashing...

I know I should be able to connect a SHT11 or LM335 sensor to one of the free I/O's and check it through the web interface, but the main question is how to set it up so the ybox2 actively monitors the temperature and emails me when it gets too hot.

Thanks!

go check out the propeller forums at parallax.com

should be fairly straight forward
use a digital thermometer, cause the propeller doesnt have analog inputs

I have some temperature sensing stuff in the onewirebridge in the firmware repository. http://svn.deepdarc.com/code/ybox2/trunk/firmware/

I don't have an SMTP object though. You'd have to write that yourself, or have a PHP script on a server send the email for you (probably easier).
