Static IP is easy. Plenty of free providers if it's just one.
I use noip.com -
Teensy is Arduino gone nuts, really good microcontrollers but with the ease of use of arduino.
If you're looking at web access, especially externally, I'd guess a Pi might be easier as you have all the networking functionality of the os -
Did not get any further with the project, apart from getting the pi, had issues sourcing decent batteries for the temp sensors.
Problem was that I needed the set up to be reliable and run without any problems as I would not be around to keep an eye on it.

Before winter I wanted to build a thermostat thing to control my heating mainly in the interests of efficiency.
I was looking at this which uses an Arduino:

However I see @lynx did the same with a Raspberry Pi, did that work out? Or I could use the teensy thing posted above...
Would be nice if I could interact with it from outside my house but I don't have a static IP, maybe a Twitter robot or something?
Anyone done anything like this?
