@[email protected] Thanks! Yes, I was looking into ESP8266 + DS18B20, thanks!
No worries - I've found them to be very effective. Just make sure you buy genuine ones. I bought a pack of (very) cheap ones and they were shit. Kept dropping after an hour or so, needing me to restart the service.
I edited my comment above with a link to a tutorial on how to wire them up on an ESP board. Have fun! Things like this are great weekend projects.
