Axe Effect is an SNMP-enabled temperature sensor, designed to be simple and secure to deploy to your network environment, as well as delivering more accurate temperature data than most other solutions on the market today. It’s powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico-W RP2040, with a temperature sensor that is accurate out of the box to +/- 0.3C, and has a 0.01C fidelity, delivering smooth charting to your SNMP monitoring software.

Axe Effect is currently in Beta as we're developing the final product. The Beta version is built around a Raspberry Pi Pico-W development board, along with our own custom PCB and 3D Printed enclosure.

We're offering 400 of these Beta boards for sale while we develop the final product, to be available in Q4 2024. During this Beta phase, we're also seeking feedback, feature suggestions, and bug reports as we continue to develop and refine the firmware.

The Beta version uses USB-Micro for power, and connects to your network via 2.4GHz WiFi (802.11n) on the Raspberry Pi Pico-W. Configuration is handled via a USB-Serial connection, and is persistent to the device through power cycling.

The thermal probe we’re using is actually a temperature, humidity and pressure sensor. The Beta version currently enables temperature monitoring, with humidity and pressure also on the roadmap for the final version.

The final version of Axe Effect will come in two different flavors, both of which will still be built on the RP2040 processor, but using 100% custom designed boards. The first will be WiFi connected, with USB-C for power and serial configuration. The second will have Ethernet, and can use either USB-C or PoE for power. We’re also toying with the idea of adding a DC barrel jack for those of you with DC power distribution in your server racks. But the final features are going to come down to what you all want to see out of a device like this.

The final version will also not be a 3D Printed enclosure, as I’m going to be seeking either injection molding, or some other process that makes more sense for mass production.

The Beta firmware is feature complete. We currently support SNMP v1 and v2c, with SNMPv3 on the roadmap for the final retail product.

We're selling the Beta version for just $65, and have a goal of $60 for the final version of Axe Effect WiFi. Pricing on the Ethernet/PoE version is TBD, depending on development and component costs.
