Firstly, I'll second the suggestion to use 1-Wire for the environmental
monitoring. Resources:
<http://www.buoy.com/mailman/listinfo/weather> 1-Wire weather list.
<http://www.weathertoys.net> 'Weather Toys' - this excellent book
describes how to build a 1-Wire weather station. See also the links
page on the author's site.
My APC UPS monitors line voltage and always tells me when it blips or
goes out of range (and by how much). Serial connection to my (Linux)
server running apcuspd:
