low-cost snmp-enabled temperature sensor?

[Furnish, Trever G]

Thanks, Jon.  It looks like those are in the $400+ range -- am I perhaps
not seeing a less-expensive version that you're using?

Trevor,

 

  We are successfully using Websensors
(http://www.eesensors.com/websensor.html).  These models can monitor
temp, humidity and illumination, and with add-on pieces, they can
monitor for the presence of water, and electrical power voltage.

 

  One of the nice things about these components is that they come with
Nagios check plugins and instructions on how to install/setup Nagios
monitoring.  They provide the monitored details over IP (not SNMP), and
you can see the details at any time by using a browser to access the
webpage (http://<ip <http://%3cip>  address>.

Can anyone recommend a low-cost external temperature sensor that doesn't
require the buyer to break out a soldering iron?

Preferably it would be SNMP-enabled so I can poll it from anything.
Power-over-ethernet would be great too.

The least expensive snmp-enabled sensor I've found so far is this one at
195 USD:

I've also noted probes like this one at 15 USD:

...but the systems in the site where I'd hook this up are all Windows,
so I'm not sure how I'd get from there into Nagios.
