I now have set up a Arduino in the garage with 2 temperature sensors available through Ethernet.
- SHT series which senses both temperature and humidity
- DS1820 digital (onewire) temperature sensor
They are available from the link below - and via a PHP script on our main webserver the webserver on the Arduino is queried - and the extra processing is done in the PHP script.
This is a Twitter clone written in php - it is actually quick to install, and seems to work.

This link will display the result of a PHP script that in turn contacts the webserver on a Ardunio running in my garage to tell you what the temperature and humidity is out there.
In reality the Arduino webserver return the state of all its analogue and digital inputs, in addition the the results from a sensor mounted on a prototyping board (a shield in Arduino speak) - and the PHP script filters out all the other data before it serves the webpage. Read more
Socketserver is a great little piece of software for OsX - especially if you have a Arduino you need to communicate with from various languages and computers.
Socketserver lets you telnet directly into the Arduino from anywhere on your local area network with multiple sessions if you so desire.
I'll do a little writeup later on about how I use Socketserver to make life easier: Read more
