Special Factors for Thermistors
You could connect a thermistor to one of the analog inputs. To keep
thermistor errors minimal, lay out your site so you can limit the length
of wire runs to the maximum for the gauge wire you select.
Table 1 shows the maximum runs for wires of various gauges to keep
errors within .5°F, .25°F, and .10°F when sensing temperatures up to
70°F.
