Temperature sensor

Post by hamishmb »

It recently came to my attention that the NAS box has a temperature sensor and a convenient script that can be run to gather the temperature. Do we want to monitor this/log the results or something?

Yes. That would be very useful for diagnostics. If you could make it flag up a Warning in some way, even better!

Okay, shall do. I could log to the file, and also stick it in the status record in the database I suppose. I believe I read that HDDs don't like temperatures over 50C, so I could make it issue a warning when we start getting near that temperature. Sound reasonable?

NB for future reference: I have added this now, it appears in the "Pi Status" column.
