Topic: just temp logger?

[m77]

I want to log outside temp and have the ability to periodically upload to a pc.

humidity would be a bonus but not a necessity.

most loggers are inside use only.

can anyone suggest a good one for use in the UK?

I have a max budget of £50.

thanks

any feedback on these things?

can I not measure humidity when the case is on?

they can log every 10sec but a one min log rate will last 27 days before an upload.  they also log co2.

anyone?

20 pounds, indoor and outdoor temperature only

or 80 quid to add wind, humidity, rain and pressure.

I have not used any of those, so I can only offer opinion, not review or feedback.

The USB stick looks cool, and I would imagine it is intended to collect data with the cap ON.  It appears to be for an indoor application, such as a data center, etc.  We use portable loggers like this (look nothing like this) from Extron to monitor equipment closets and such.  I don't get the impression that you could attach this full-time to a long USB cable and have real-time uploads (with a DIY program to do that at best).

I like the Oregon Sci unit.  I think I may investigate that for my own use.  Wireless outdoor sensor (temp only) and a PC interface.  That meets your base criteria, but you may still have to roll your own uploader.

A lot of neat features on the Watson, and a decent price it seems.  It is more scalable than the others, but I have never heard of it.  See if you can find a manual online to see if has the software goodies you need right out of the box.
