Here's a good write up of using a diode for temp sensor.
It needs a volt reference, so pick a micro that has one of those.
Most MSP430 have one. (See below)

Here is some thermostat write up, and code for MSP430:

He uses a micro with a $2.50/ qty one price though...so some reading of the
datasheets of the minimal MSP430G2230IDR in 8 pin SOIC pkg for 0.76 USD qty ten, $46/qty 100

That one has internal temp sensor and 4 channel ADC 10 bits.

I need to start something with that one!
