We have just used something like that in our lab. You can check

[http://www.itwatchdogs.com/product-detail-
minigoose_ii-8.htm...](http://www.itwatchdogs.com/product-detail-
minigoose_ii-8.html)

it is a device connected with air flow/humidity/ Dew point/ temperature
sensors and connected to the internet. The basic models starts from 200
dollars I think. If you want to contact me at my username at g mail I can link
you to our lab's website to check the interface

You can buy sensors for things like that, but they'll tend to be expensive for
what you get, eg:

<http://www.tequipment.net/AmprobeTR300.html>

If you like to hack around with micro-controllers then you can build something
that does all that more for about the same price, but have a lot more
flexibility.

Google for things like "1-wire humidity sensor". The Dallas Semi 1-wire bus is
widely supported with most micro controllers, and fairly easy to implement.
