Repeater TX temperature monitor.

It would be nice if there was another tempeature display that would allow the use of an external
temperature probe to allow monitoring of the transmitter heatsink or even in some cases
the remote rack cabinet ambient temperature.
I'm sure via linux there is other ways to do this from the command line but it would be nice
if it was there in the dashboard.
Yes, I'm running a pair of CDM1250s at 20 watts with constant heatsink mounted fan.
Thanks..

Well is should be simple to add this to PiStar image.
i did a quick test with a spare RPi 3b with a temperature probe and i found some line of code to put on the rpi.
then i was issuing a command to read the temp manually
so yes that should be simple to run a similar code and have it on Dashboard display.

Let me fin out my note and post some info and picture here.
