I picked up a wifi data logger off eBay for a steal, $50 best offer accepted price straight from lascar the manufacturer. It is a lascar wifi tp single sensor. It is cloud based or computer based. I set mine up to be cloud based. They have an app too for the phone that I am using. It shows current temp of sensor and a historical graph. I zip tied mine to the outgoing line back to the boiler right after the flat plate. My temp readings are 4 degrees lower than actual temp. No big deal, I just add 4 degrees for the actual temps. The historical graph is great. Since I strapped it to the return line after the flat plate I can see when the house calls for heat because I get a drop in temp on the graph. I can see how long the house runs for and how often. I can also see when the boiler does a cycle and how long it takes. Here's a screen shot of the app from overnight last night.

Now that's cool and just what I need. What is the range of the wifi?

I don't know how far you could get away from the router. The draw back to
The sensor is it only has one sensor input.

Going to look into upgrading wifi crap around here, wife says the router is at least 5 years old.
