Anyone recommend a cheap data logger. I need to record usage vs time for hours I'm not in or awake. Rather than dragging down some homebrew data logger and patching it into a clamp meter, I'm after some simple solution. My plan B is a webcam watching the meter and recording every hour.

I am told the old BBC computer can read voltage direct and a small current transformer can be used with these to do what you require. But I was a spectrum man and never got into the BBC so only hear say.

Yes you did used to be able to do clever things with the joystick ports. But I'm after something a bit simpler than a few hours homebrew. Either a clamp designed to record current history in hourly chunks for 12 hours or somesuch.
EDIT: I suppose it wasn't clear. I'm recording mains usage of elec meter - not some low voltage stuff on a multi meter.
