No building instructions tho.

True, but in 2017 mercury was forbidden to use in products, this goes for most of the world.
There is other good solutions tho.

That is very true, but when your homeautomation control turns the heat on and off, it is a better chance to get the desired comfort temperature around the house if the temperature input is more accurate than 3 deg.C
I am measuring about 150 cm from the floor, but I want to know if the temperature is 19, 20 or 21 deg.C (Even if it does not really matter elsewhere than in my head
)

I do not have any skills in electronics or software like KiCad, but with the help so far, I think I have a starting point.
What I have learned so far is that the best option may be to use a 4-wire PT100 RTD sensor and convert the signal with a RTD to digital converter.
Took me some hours to find information, but I think I have found the red line to follow.
I think I have found usable components from Farnell, but time will show.
Believe I will buy a circuit from
https://www.adafruit.com/product/3328, learn how it works and learn how to communicate with it, before I go further with trying to recreating it.
