I've used an X10 module that I've written a program which control lights (Not fancy but I've ported it to Win. Linux and Mac OS X even though it uses a web interface). As part of that I've add an X10 Thermostat control but it only accepts X10 commands and I would like to take a shot at writing a more sophisticated algorithm for heat control but to do that I need to know the current temp. Is there any cheap and SIMPLE ways of getting that. (indoor/outdoor would be nice but not critical)

Check out this article, it my give you some help. I use LM34's but via an Ocelot and SECU16I module for temperature sensing.

Take a look at the TempLinc 1625 at

Your software will need to be able to receive the X10 preset dim signal in which the temperature is encoded.
Oops, forgot the link....
