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. http://nagios.org/products/environmental/esensors/em01b.php
I personally use a WeatherGoose: http://www.itwatchdogs.com/

... so long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrranize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men. -- Voltarine de Cleyre
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.
