Did you get this working?

If not and it is a "Temper" device then these links might be of help:

I've got one of these measuring the temperature in my living room and it 
seems to work reasonably well.

If it isn't a Temper device then I'd be interested in knowing what it is 
as it is always useful to look at alternatives.
