Server Room Temperature and Humidity Monitoring

What it does

The server room temperature and humidity monitoring system keeps a constant watch on the environment in enclosed spaces that house servers, network equipment and storage units. Temperature and relative humidity are measured continuously, the people responsible are alerted by mobile notification and SMS when readings move outside the defined limits, and the current status can be checked remotely without anyone having to be in the room.

Problems in a server room often start quietly. A cooling unit that drops out, a door left open or a blocked vent can push the temperature up within minutes. Humidity that falls too low raises the risk of static discharge, while humidity that climbs too high brings the risk of condensation. The purpose of the system is to make these changes visible before the equipment is affected, and to buy time for a response.

One installation of the system was set up in the server room at Cumhuriyet Teknokent (technology park) in Sivas in 2025 and has been monitoring room temperature and humidity there ever since.

How it works

In general terms, the system works in three steps:

1. Measurement: Sensors placed in the room read temperature and humidity at regular intervals.
2. Evaluation: Each reading is compared with the lower and upper thresholds set during installation. When a threshold is crossed, the system sends an alert by mobile notification and SMS.
3. Monitoring: Readings are collected centrally, so authorised users can follow current values and past records remotely.

Thresholds are not fixed. They are set according to the size of the room, the equipment inside it and the operator's own internal rules. Alerts are delivered by mobile notification and SMS, and the recipients are defined during installation. That way a deviation that happens at night or over a holiday still gets noticed.

Technology

Aypa Otomasyon is a team that develops the hardware and embedded software for many of its devices in-house, from meter reading terminals to boiler automation. The temperature and humidity monitoring system is designed with the same experience: measurement, threshold checks and data transfer are handled within a single device logic.

Sensor type and accuracy, measurement frequency and communication path are chosen per project. Monitoring a single cabinet and following several rooms from one screen are different needs, so the site is assessed before installation and the setup is planned accordingly. Compatibility with the building's existing infrastructure is reviewed at the same stage.

Where it is used

The system is designed first and foremost for server and system rooms: spaces where servers and network equipment must run without interruption and where environmental conditions directly affect business continuity. The same setup can also be used in similar critical rooms where electronic equipment is sensitive to temperature and humidity.

This installation is one of four systems set up at the Teknokent in 2025. It operates on the same campus alongside an addressable RF fire detection network, boiler automation and an IO control device with TCP-IP and RS485 support. The campus, which is also home to our office, serves as a reference site where we install our systems and observe them under real conditions.
