What sort of sensors are available? Just the stuff off the pi site?

For temperature only I prefer the 18B20 sensor. They’re very easy to interface with and they can be at the end of very long wires.

Adafruit has a bunch of sensors that work over the i2c bus; they’ve included python code for accessing the data as well, which makes it easy to get started.

There are sensors out there for everything. Absolutely everything.

You can integrate just about any sensor into a Pi depending on your knowledge. (any sensor you find on sparkfun would work for someone with a little determination)
