Hey everyone. I got an Antminer in a soundproof box and I'm hunting for temperature sensors. Need something that can go at the inlet and outlet, plus send alerts to my iPhone if things get too hot or worse... catch fire. Price matters too, so any suggestions? Some sensors I saw have batteries, which isn't great for the exhaust side.

good luck finding cheap stuff lol. But you might check these out: - special router: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N17RWWV/ - sensor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AEQ9X9I/ They offer global access from your phone or online.

but why not just use the temp sensors already in the Antminer? It’s got 4 on the hashboard and one on the ASIC chip. Maybe run a laptop on your network and use Awesomeminer. It can alert you about mining issues. Check out this link for automation: https://support.awesomeminer.com/support/solutions/articles/35000085907-rules-detect-mining-issues-and-automate-tasks

Yeah, exactly! The Antminer will shut down if it overheats, and usually your mining pool app will notify you. At least that’s how it works for me in China. Not sure what pool you’re with though.

I appreciate all the input! Just trying to stay ahead of any issues with my miners, like fires or whatever. I know the Antminer has sensors but I built this box to reduce noise and recycle hot air. I tried remote access via RDP but it's kinda clunky.
