I now have a "server closet" where I my Home Server, LinkStation, switch, ADSL modem, wireless station, treble, and so on. In order to track the temperature in the cabinet I ordered a USB thermometer "of usb.brando.com.hk. You just plug it into the USB port of a Windows computer, and it will measure the ambient temperature.
The unit came in an envelope in the coming days along with a mini CD-R. That's right, not from a factory CD-ROM, but a normal burn-it-at-home cd-r with the software on them. And the software seems quite at home well done.
I used to say read a few reviews on the device "for use in laboratories. Right.
You need two drivers to get it to work. First, a USB-serial adapter and then a driver for the thermometer. It seems they use some old thermometers solution for the serial link design and easy to put them on the same USB stick as a USB to serial adapters. But it works. And the temperature is very close to what does my stand-alone thermometer when placed in close proximity.
The software shows you most of the labels in English and is logging temperatures at different intervals can - but only in the form of a list on the screen, not in a file. There is a "updata software" option in the software as well, but it is only a mailto: link to a suspicious looking address. "
Not a great device, but either not very expensive and it works. I only wish they had done, log file is available and fewer colors in the UI.
