Try these:

 

HWg-STE is an ethernet web temperature sensor with MS Excel reporting software. E-mail temperature monitor, SNMP support, Email alerts, Web thermometer

 

Works with cacti (see forum posts here CACTI | HW group)

 

Cheap and work perfectly. I embed the cacti graphs into a webpage and display on a loop on Xibo

Yeah, you'd have the mport wherever you have a network connection and run the cables to the mport. I can't remember the exact setup, worth perusing their site for more info. Been away for a few weeks, forgot how it's all set up!

mFi is a current product with a slew of addons you can use for monitoring temperature, humidity, power and god knows what else. They are very well supported products.

Despite that we're looking to use a load of mPorts to link up all of our fire alarms.

Blimey, did not know that. And that's one hell of a honest/blunt reply from him!

It's a shame. Yes, the controller is a bit clunky, but I can't find a product similar that has the same features and ease of use at an affordable price.

Where are you buying these?

 

I think I got my mPort and sensors from LinITX, or it could have been broadbandbuyer. Either way the mPort and three sensors was less than £100.

Agreed - hardware is still available and to be honest the controller may be clunky but it is rock solid on our linux box. It'll do for now.
