Hello,
Following the Fabian Arrotin recommendation, I open here the request to include the 'raspberrypi-vc' package into the CentOS 7 EPEL repository, or in the main tree.
This package includes a command called 'vcgencmd' which offers a set of interesting values of the Raspberry Pi board; e.g. its temperature. Check here http://www.elinux.org/RPI_vcgencmd_usage for more information.
I've downloaded the SRPM package from here http://www.squeezecommunity.org/repo/fedora/24/pi/SRPMS/raspberrypi-vc-20160705-501.git0b8c195.fc24.src.rpm, and I realized that it was pretty easy to build on a full-updated CentOS 7 (kernel 4.4.14-v7).
The following are the small modifications I made on the .spec file to accomplish it:

The build generated successfully the following packages:

The installation worked finely:
# [root@rpi3 armv7hl]# rpm -ivh raspberrypi-vc-utils-20160705-501.git0b8c195.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm raspberrypi-vc-libs-20160705-501.git0b8c195.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm Preparing... ################################# [100%] Updating / installing... 1:raspberrypi-vc-libs-20160705-501.################################# [ 50%] 2:raspberrypi-vc-utils-20160705-501################################# [100%]
Then a simple command to get the temperature:
[root@rpi3 ~]# vcgencmd measure_temp temp=47.2'C
Thanks.
