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.

Hi,

Any RS-232 temperature sensor should do the job.

The USB ones also (generally) work with CentOS, though you may need to resort to reading the USB device with a script and doing your own graphing and alerting.

Does anyone know of one that is known to work with CentOS? (I don't care if I have to read the device manually)
