voltcraft_tcm220_

Sadly there is no documentation for this plugin.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
##########################################################################################################
#
# Munin plugin to monitor values reported by a Voltcraft TCM 220 or 320 temperature switch module
# connected to a serial port. A cable needs to be soldered to the module's dedicated data output pads:
# pad no. 9 (GND) to pin no. 5 of the serial port, pad no. 17 (DATA_OUT) to pin no. 2 of the serial port
# and pad no. 18 (CLOCK) to pin no. 3 of the serial port. For more details, check out the documentation
# that came with your Voltcraft TCM 220/320 temperature switch module.
#
# In order to use this plugin, copy it to the munin's plugin directory (eg. /usr/share/munin/plugins)
# under the name "voltcraft_tcm220_". Don't change this filename! Follow these steps:
#
# 1. Symlink it to munin's configured plugins directory (eg. /etc/munin/plugins) with names suggesting
#    the locations of the  modules you wish to monitor, eg: "voltcraft_tcm220_serverroom1".
#
#    Important: make sure to use the same names in your symlinks and other config places!
#
# 2. In /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node add the following, to be able to contact the modules via
#    serial ports (obviously replacing these with your own data):
#
#    [voltcraft_tcm220_serverroom1]
#    user root				# Need to run the plugin as root, in order to access the RS232 port
#    group root
#    env.Port /dev/ttyS0		# Serial port where the module is connected to
#    env.Location Server Room 1		# Friendly name for the module location, printed on the graph
#    env.CH1name Ceiling		# Friendly name for the CH1 sensor location
#    env.CH1crit 35			# Critical temperature value which when reached, Munin should alert
#    env.CH2name Floor			# Friendly name for the CH2 sensor location
#    env.CH2crit 35			# Critical temperature value which when reached, Munin should alert
#
# 3. Restart the munin node by 'service munin-node restart'.
#
#    If all went well, after 5 minutes or so you should have tne new module's graphs listed on the Web
#    Interface of Munin.
#
# Note: the plugin waits maximum 11 seconds for the module to report the current temperature values to
# the serial port. If no value is reported, or the serial cable is unplugged, it returns Undefined to
# Munin. According to the documentation, the module can be configured to report values every 2 seconds
# instead the 10 seconds default - this can be used to speed up the data acquisition process, however
# it can decrease battery life (with default values, two AAA alkaline batteries last cca 2 years).
#
# Tested & working with munin v.2.0.19-2 on Ubuntu LTS 12.04.4
# Created in 2014 by robi
#  v0.2 - added checksum validation
#  v0.1 - initial version
