DS18B20
The DS18B20 digital thermometer provides 9-bit to 12-bit Celsius temperature measurements and has an alarm function with nonvolatile user-programmable upper and lower trigger points.

Notes from the field
When I added a DS18B20 on about 75 feet of Cat 5e I changed out the pullup resistor from 4.7k to a 1k. I put signal and ground in one pair, and power on a single wire of another pair.
