At the moment I have three 'weather stations' which are an indoor
thermometer and clock and atmospheric pressure sensor, and a remote
temperature sensor.

The first I bought from Tcibo, and it has been very reliable.

The other two are from Lidl/Aldi and both keep losing contact with the
external sensor.
So not that much good.
Not the temperature sensors fighting each other as one was for the camper
van and it didn't work well out in a field with nobody else around.

Now I would really like to be able to have a number of temperature sensors
around the house, both inside and out, and to read all the temperatures at
one station, preferably a PC.

Now these 'weather stations' are pretty cheap, so the remote sensor must
be very cheap.

So you would think that you could buy say six budget temperature sensors
and a base station for this kind of application.

However Google is so far not my friend.

Anyone done this kind of thing?

I want lots of temperature sensors, for the fridges, freezers,
the various batches of beer brewing, oven, room temps in more
than one place etc and would like to have a source of decent
cheap wifi or bluetooth sensors, just so there isnt a mess of
wiring for them. Nothing at all at sensible prices.

Hordes of dirt cheap USB temperature sensors, but thats
nothing like as easy to use into the PC or whatever because
I want them scattered pretty widely.

I'd also like a few others with just contact closure etc
for stuff like the gates and letterbox lid etc outside.

There is one hell of a market there that no
chinese person appears to have noticed yet.
