Internet system for supply and temperature control in server rooms

Abstract

The paper presents an internet system to manage 230 V electric devices in computer server rooms. The system is realized as the power strip connected to one of servers through the USB port. The system allows for the real-time temperature measurement and provides the maintenance-free operation. Moreover, it allows to turn on or off the connected devices using information from temperature sensors. Also it is possible to turn on or off every single socket disregarding temperature. The user communicates with the system through the web browser, and no dedicated software is required on the client side. The system has been installed and verified experimentally
