Has anyone hooked up a temperature probe to their external (air) temperature? My tank has a fairly high temp swing (1F over the course of a good day; 2+F on bad days) and I'm almost certain that it's related to the room temperature variance. We keep a fairly broad temp range in order to prevent the A/C from kicking on all the time, and often leave doors open so the kiddo's can run in and out. Good for Ph (I suppose); not so good when it's 90+F outside...
I was thinking that it would be interesting to see how the room (and/or even exterior) temperature correlates using the reporting tools and such. I'm not really sure that I'd actually toggle anything with the probe (water temp is more important a measure), but if there's an easy/cheap way to tack on a room temp probe, I'd likely go for it.
So, basically - is there a more cost-effective way to include room/air temp in the reports than adding a PM2/3 module and getting another temp probe (~$200)?
On a related idea; I know that there are data feeds that provide the current local temperature (a'la weather.com, etc.). I wonder if Neptune has considered integrating these (@Terence)? I can't imagine it's a high priority, but may be interesting...
