Describe the feature

A tube module that reads the temperature of the block its facing and output a redstone signal to one of the 16 colored channels. It would have a simple function where it just outputs a signal strength based on hard coded min/max temperatures, and when upgraded with the advanced module, the redstone output can be configured just like the advanced regulator module.

Reasons why it should be considered

Currently the only ways to measure temperature is with a programmable drone or the universal sensor. Both also capable of measuring temperature remotely without being near the block and are very different compared to tube modules. Having a temperature sensor that attaches to a tube facing the block to measure feels more inline with the existing tube modules and the existence and behavior of the temperature sensor tube module would feel like a natural part of the tube module ecosystem.

I would appreciate some feedback on the work so far.

I might take a stab at coding a PoC this week. I can probably re-use bits from the RedstoneModule, RegulatorModule and PressureGaugeModule.

Just adding my support for this. Controlling temperature exclusively through regulator use can be near-impossible in some situations. A simple thermostat module would be wonderful.

Yeah I'd be happy to add this. @johalun feel free to have a go, let me know if you need any advice etc.
