After too many sleepless nights I decided it was finally time to invest in some air conditioning. Being tight I found this portable aircon at Screwfix for £174.99. Surely at that price it can’t possibly work?? If you’re interested the model number is WAP31A15E but I suspect this will be marketed OEM under various different brands worldwide. 1500W cooling capacity (approx. 5000BTU).

Affiliate links to products I'm using, more info below. Please note these are quite old so there may be better alternatives now! But they do the job and the main thing is that I can export the data to file:
Govee logging thermometer: amzn.to/3Qz6FEN
Meross logging smart plug: amzn.to/4xNCOch
We're using the Bosch EasyControl to monitor gas usage (main house thermostat). Can't find a link for that.
