The sensor Jim linked : Temp/humidity with I2C interface https://www.adafruit.com/products/1293 looks good - packaged, high res temperature, etc. It's not 'complete' in that it's only a sensor, but you only have to attach a USB-I2C adapter. Probably less work than connecting up the sparkfun

Hi There’s always the “cool factor” of higher resolution. Apparently it’s not enough of a issue to make it a worthwhile market to serve. Based on what has been tossed around, it sounds like an Arduino with some bits plugged in is the low cost leader. 3D print up and enclosure and you have

The good news is if the dataloger you get has a mems pressure sensor, you will have a high precision temperature sensor, whether or not the product software provides that resolution to you is another matter. In addition to the piezo-resistive bridge being mechanically sensitive to diaphragm

I did a LOT of testing environmental sensors when I built my ultrasonic anemometer weather station that is part of a rocket launch control system. The best humidity sensor I found was the DHT21/SHT11/AM2301/SHT15. They run around $3 and can also provide temperature to 0.1C res / 0.5C
