Ecology fieldwork question: Can anyone recommend a cheaper alternative to outdoor TinyTag dataloggers?

27 March 2023 0 417 Report

I am trying to obtain 50 TinyTag dataloggers for long term use in an woodland study site. The dataloggers I require need to be able to withstand long term outdoor use and record humidity and temperature continuously. However, this particular model costs approximately £200 each, so 50 of them are way outside my research budget. Can anyone recommend a cheaper device/model that performs the same purpose?
