Argh -- $$$$

There used to be "spider" sensors that were cheap but I heard
they shut down. What you need is something based on those "stamp"
CPU's but I donno who is making such...
Turning the question around, what sort of price point are you looking at? A guesstimate says that there's $150 worth of *parts* in a box just to do temperature monitoring that will take an EtherNet connection (unless you were manufacturing a gazillion of them).
