That sounds something like a 'HOBO temperature logger'. We used those at CSIRO. They are matchbox size and you hook them up to a serial port to activate them and set the logging interval (fractions of a second up to days) etc. Then you disconnect and put them where you want and they happily log away until you connect them back to the computer to download the data. That was about 10 years ago though. I'm sure the world of temperature loggers has changed in that time.
