Expect your power bill to experience a familiar hike this winter as you turn up the heater to keep yourself warm and toasty while playing games on next-generation consoles. In case you didn't realize there is nothing you can do about the power bill - think again. The HOBO U10 Temperature Logger Kit is a battery-powered temperature recording device that monitors heat and air conditioning activity of your home on a computer. The HOBO U10 will collect data for a preset amount of time, where it will then be converted into time-stamped graphs via the included software. From this analysis, you can tell whether the heat is running whenever you're out in order to change the thermostat temperature to lower costs. The HOBO U10 retails for $79 - a prudent investment in the long run.
