I finally solved my own problem by developing a custom Handler for the “Fibaro FGK-101 Temperature & Door/Window Sensor”.
The Fibaro FGK-101 Temperature & Door/Window sensor goes on sale in the US this month (908.4 MHz version) :
At this time, SmartThings built-in support for Fibaro FGK-101 is fairly basic : just open/closed.
But this Z-Wave device offers much more than that : temperature measurement, tampering alarm and a set of configurable options.
AFAIK, it is the smallest available Z-Wave temperature sensor (76 x 17 x 19 mm = 3" x 2/3" x 3/5") and a very accurate one : the optional TO92 DS18B20 sensor is +/-0.5°C accurate from –10°C to +85°C (14°F to 185°F) according to the Dallas/Maxim DS18B20 datasheet :

Although still a “work in progress”, the Handler below supports periodic and threshold controlled Temperature measurements, anti-Ta…
