Sorry, only one I used years ago (Hot Little Therm) is discontinued...
But, unless you already checked, some servers have integrated "ambiant" temperature...
By example, on HP servers:
# /sbin/hplog -t
ID TYPE LOCATION STATUS CURRENT THRESHOLD
1 Basic Sensor I/O Zone Normal 114F/ 46C 149F/ 65C
2 Basic Sensor Ambient Normal 78F/ 26C 104F/ 40C
3 Basic Sensor CPU (1) Normal 91F/ 33C 203F/ 95C
4 Basic Sensor CPU (1) Normal 91F/ 33C 203F/ 95C
5 Basic Sensor Pwr. Supply Bay Normal 91F/ 33C 140F/ 60C
6 Basic Sensor CPU (2) Normal ---F/---C 203F/ 95C
7 Basic Sensor CPU (2) Normal ---F/---C 203F/ 95C
