Virtual Device

Votes:

0

Not sure if this is possible but I thought I would ask. Is is possible to make a virtual device that would really just be sensors from other devices.

For example. I have 6 APC UPS's that have external temp probes. I would like to make a group or a virtual device that had the sensors for those probes plus our normal enviro sensors in one place for viewing and configuration.

Currently APC's are under a power group and enviro sensors under another group and to config I need to flip back and forth.

I hope this makes sense.

Hello,

just create an empty device in your device tree with a 'dummy'-hostname/IP and then you could use the Sensor Factory to copy the sensor results into this one (even into one graph if you'd prefer) from the other 'real' sensors.

best regards.
