AW: Smoke-detector connected to Nagios ?

Hi,

Please, do yourself a favour and don't connect smoke detectors to Nagios and
rely on them. If you need them, consider a burglar alarm. We have two of
them in our Server room. If smoke is detected it must go fast. A
notification thru SMS will burn down your house. There are companies you can
connect with your burglar alarm equipment, they receive an alarm in realtime
and can report to the fire department.
On behalf of that you can connect the alarm equipment to Nagios (even
thought I don't recommend it). Good burglar alarms have a serial printer
port you can use to connect with Nagios.

Regards,
Hagen
