This sensor is incredibly stable. I have used and abused it while experimenting (dropping it, etc), it is still going strong. Being digital, it is not necessary to take an average of 5 or so readings as is commonly done with analog sensors. IMO the easiest to use as far as code goes (maybe tie with the TMP36 or a thermistor). I have an Arduino mounted (in a box) on the outside of a snake cage, connected to this sensor placed in a box inside the cage. I use the Arduino to control heating (Arduino output to an NPN transistor circuit to a zero-volt-turnon SSR and LED for status.) Works nicely.
