I'd differ from Peter's opinion and say instead you should go for
something very cheap, on the basis that you can easily replace it if
it breaks.  A10 OLinuXino LIME (about $30) has several GPIO
connectors.  It is supported by the Fedora AllWinner Remix, and I
think by the main Fedora starting in Fedora 21(?)

You seem to have got something working already, but out of interest
did you consider a 1-wire weather station, and then just connecting
that to an ordinary computer which can be located far away and inside
in the warmth?
