When I was looking at the hobbit web page a while back, I thought I remember
seeing an advertisement for an external temperature sensor device that was
network ready and not to expensive. I cannot see this any more or maybe I am
mistaken.

Can anyone point me to a unit that is small, easy to mount and not to
expensive and that you have used and can recommend.

Thanks

Robert

You might be thinking about the device on the nagios webpage.

I personally use a WeatherGoose: http://www.itwatchdogs.com/

This one isn't network-enabled, but if you have a machine with a spare
serial port within about 100 yards of where you want to take
measurements, it might do what you need.  Runs up to 4 sensors.

I don't have one myself (yet :), but a friend has one with the sensors
strapped to beer fermentation barrels.  I think it's plugged into his
home web server - he can certainly check the temps while at work...
