The chip comprises an analog temperature sensor that converts temperature to analog voltage. Unlike resistive sensors, this linear active thermistor chip does not require an additional signal- ...

Seeking students for projects prototyping a set of self-powered embedded sensor systems for pervasive computing. These projects will sharpen your hardware and software skills.

You'll need an Arduino along with a bunch of various sensors to get the project rolling, and once it's all set up you'll have a simple, but cheap system to monitor your home.
