I've recently been experimenting with a jaycar XC-4520 temperature and humidity sensor. This was pretty easy to connect and have the pi outputting temp and time to a 8 / 7 segment lcd display.
This is a good guide for the XC-4520 / DHT-11 sensor setup guide.

And plan to add data logging with something like this. Seems a pretty good solution that doesn't use a 3rd party cloud server:

The DHT-11 is only suitable for indoors. Plan to use the jarcar XC-3700 / DS18B20 temp circuit for outdoors.
BUT from my bits of brewing equipment I have a spare temperature probe. This has two wires, red and white. And includes quite a bit of cable, enough to jam through a window crack or something. Was purchased to connect to a brewing temp relay controller.
Does anyone know what type of temperature probe this would be (is sealed inside a metal probe) and how would I wire this to the raspberry pi? Assuming from what I've read needs a 4.7k or 10k resister.
