Indigo Plugin: APC Metered Rack PDU

This device can be connected to an optional temperature and humidity sensor.

With this plugin, you can read the energy usage, temperature and humidity sensors from an APC Metered Rack PDU.

Info

This particular device does not allow control or energy readings of individual outlets. The energy readings are aggregate and the temperature sensor is optional. If you'd like support for other devices, hit me up, and lets work on it.
