A bit over a year ago I looked into this.  My main question was on a
security system that would interface with another computer, other than the
controller, somehow.  I figured if I could get the information to the
computer, then the rest would be easy.  

The thread can be found here:

I never really did anything about it after that...and I don't remember
why.  It was either cost, or no free time!

As for the humidity, www.sensorsoft.com has some cool stuff for that.  We
just ordered the low-end serial port temperature sensor($110), but they do
have SNMP ones as well ($2100!!!)
