Thats temperature taken every 2 seconds averaged and recorded every minute.

The hump in the orange line is from the woodstove getting refilled and opened up. the abrupt start and end to the climb is from it's fan turning on and off due to it's thermocouple. The sensor in that room is about 12 feet in front of the woodstove so it's really sensitive to the stove and it's fan.

The saw shaped recordings are from the fan in the forced air system kicking on every 15 minutes or so for 5 minutes o it's circulate program. I do this to move the heat from the woodstove around the house. I've actually found that just turning the fan on for 2 hours and then going to circulate does a great job of cooling the recroom with the stove and heating the rest of the house. I intend to eventually connect the downstairs cold air return to the recroom to make it even more efficient.

The rec room gets sun but the office does not on the jan 16th graph around 1 in the afternoon you see this small hump.
