Does anyone know of a cheap temperature sensor that will work with Linux? I don't need a fancy monitoring appliance, I just want a simple sensor that I can connect to one of my monitoring servers to let me know if the server room is getting hot.
I;m not sure what you consider "cheap". I've used a Sensatronics Model E4, for which I've written my own daemon software to take a reading and log it every x minutes. I've also had a Sensaphone Model 1104 which can automatically call multiple phone numbers and play a message about fault conditions.
Each of these were in the $400 to $600 range (with sensors).
