RS1.ENVIRONMENT

Equipment Cabinet Environment

Temperature and humidity inside the box, where the expensive things live.

What it is

A remote enclosure in an Australian summer is a small oven, and an enclosure in a Texas winter is a fridge with condensation in it. This module watches temperature and humidity inside the equipment cabinet and at a couple of points around it, so heat soak and damp get noticed before they cost something.

Sensors report over Zigbee into a local broker, which means battery-powered sensors can be placed where there is no power and no cable run. It also means sensors can go quiet — and a sensor that has gone quiet while still showing its last reading is worse than no sensor at all, so the module tracks how old each reading is and says so.
