1-wire works, although if you have a lot of sensors on a single bus it
can be quite slow to read all the temperatures.

I've been using a "T.O.M.10" board for quite a while (although
it's
temporarily de-commissioned due to needing the MSS-100 elsewhere), which
splits the sensors off into separate runs and provides the bus power.
It's no longer available sadly, but the "TEMP08" board is a
similar sort
of thing.

rfxcom might be worth a look?
