Hi Steve,
I'm the Museum Specialist at Lake Mead NRA who has also been looking into new dataloggers, I think Ed contacted you about this. I was looking into the HOBOware dataloggers, and our Regional Curator found documentation that suggests HOBOware dataloggers are pre-approved for use on NPS networks, but I'm not sure if that's true DOI-wide. Network compatibility is the main issue we've been having with our current dataloggers.
I liked this model:
https://www.onsetcomp.com/products/data-loggers/mx1104/. It measures temp, RH, and lux and the HOBOware software has automatic data storage and an alert function. Our currently non-functional T&D dataloggers also measure lux hours, but I haven't been able to find any others that also do that. I haven't found any dataloggers that also measure UV, either.
I hope this is helpful!

Subject: Networked Datalogger for T, RH, UV, Lux with an Alert Function
One of our sites is interested in purchasing a datalogger that monitors temperature, relative humidity, lux and lux hours (lux over time), and UV. They also would like for the datalogger to be network compatible and have an alert function so that staff will be notified whenever conditions rise above or fall below the proper parameters. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you.
