Onset manufactures a wide range of battery-operated devices that log pressure, temperature, humidity, light intensity, voltage and much else besides. Anyone interested in personal energy consumption would do well to take a look at their HOBO Data Logger.

This compact and portable home heat-sensor kit plugs into any home computer's USB port so you can be told by a it, a machine, to stop wasting electricity. Frank Deshaies of Onset:

"It can also tell you if, for example, how well temperature is balanced from room-to-room, and if your refrigerator temperature settings are too low. There are so many opportunities to reduce consumption that homeowners never get to see without real data."

The HOBO U10 Kit is $80.
