I don't know how others regard this discussion, but it is of interest to 
me, and I would like to see it remain on the list.

Interfacing with Linux would, I expect, be quite pertinent to the list, 
and, I believe that this particular application relates to monitoring 
in-box or CPU temperatures, and I believe that that goes to Linux-based 
system monitors (if I understand the required application correctly).

I expect that it could be extrapolated to the (I believe) previously 
mentioned application of using a computer to monitor (and possibly 
regulate, using airconditioning) temperatures of various rooms within a 
house, thence being involvd in Linux-based "smart-house" software.

It all appears pretty much appropriate to the list, to me.

But then, I am just one individual, with my own perception of the 
objectives of the list.
