Yes, that does look like an interesting solution.   It's listed as being
able to monitor up to four sensors and also water and door contacts.  So is
that four sensors total (a mix of temp and the water/door) or 4 temp and
also one water and one door?  I've been thinking of putting a floor water
sensor in that area also.

Which systems work with the "least hassle" with PC automation solutions?

Do you know if it's RF data can be monitored from a PC?  Or more
importantly, is there an existing PC solution that's known to do it, not an
assemblage of hacks (I have enough of THOSE already).
