Temperature telemetry for homelabs, server rooms, and suspiciously warm closets

Meet OctoTherm.

A network-connected temperature monitor built for people who believe metrics should be boring, open, encrypted, and easy to graph at 2:00 AM when something starts cooking.

Small device. Big monitoring energy.

OctoTherm is for the places where temperature matters: racks, workbenches, basements, garages, 3D printer areas, network closets, and anywhere else you want cold hard data instead of vibes.

📈

OpenMetrics 1.0 friendly

Designed to publish metrics in an open format that plays nicely with modern monitoring stacks.

🔐

Encrypted access

Device access is encrypted so your temperature data and management surface are not casually floating around in plaintext.

Open product mindset

No weird cloud leash. No mystery box nonsense. The goal is transparency, hackability, and standards-first monitoring.

Why open matters.

Monitoring tools should cooperate. OctoTherm is being built around open standards like OpenMetrics 1.0 so your data can go where you want it to go: Prometheus, Grafana, automation, alerting, long-term storage, or whatever nerdy pipeline you dream up next.
