Surge protector with temperature sensor?

[It's Not Lupus]

Is there a surge protector with a temperature sensor that will turn off at a specified (hot) temperature? Or is there some other kind of solution, maybe advanced enough to send a computer a shutdown command?

Or maybe install a sensor on the computer itself with a program to perform the shutdown.

Don't know of such a surge protector. Most computer mobos have a temp sensor that causes shutdown at a specified level.

Check your BIOS...could be a setting there that allows you to do what you want.

Look into Arduino or other similar system. You can the code a front end to check various sensors such as Dallas/Maxim 1-wire temp sensors then trigger a shutdown.

Or something really crude but easier, you could use line voltage heat thermostat to turn off the supply to the UPS then setup the UPS to turn off the PC. Basically the thermostat acts as a switch, you set it to like 40C, as long as it's cooler than that it will stay "on", if the temp hits 40c it will turn off.

My N40L overheated, turned off, but didn't turn on again. I had to replaced some parts.

yeah, I was thinking about that or the beagleboard.
