Environmental monoitoring

[David Fletcher]

My employer wants to do environmental monitoring and logging of 
temperature and humidity in an instrument calibration room.

I'm looking at an environmental monitor called the Sensatronics EM1 
made by a company called Open Extra. It plugs into a network outlet 
and operates with SNMP.

What I'm thinking might be possible is to have a script running on 
one of the Linux boxes as a cron job, to periodically interrogate the 
environmental monitor and add date, time, temperature and humidity to 
a log file each time.

Has anybody had experience of doing this, please?
