Outdoor Sensor

in THE MAIN WALL
I would like to know of a good outdoor sensor to use with my Taco SR502 board. I have snowmelt and a garage loop on the same side of my heat exchanger.
I want to set up my snowmelt to start at 38 degrees and turn off at 10 degrees. The snowmelt pump will run continous.
I will have the garage set with a thermostat, and will kick on the boiler side pump when it calls for heat as will the snowmelt sensor.
Question is what is the best outdoor sensor to use?

    I like Ranco

    The Ranco DTC (Digital temperature Controller). They're relatively inexpensive ($75 CDN), come with a 30' lead with thermistor moulded in. The lead can be extended by 300' with standard stat wire. The thermistor is virtually indestructible and can stand moist, albeit not wet, conditions. They're made with either a 24VAC or 120VAC coil on the relay. You program setpoint, differential, heating/cooling and fahrenheit/centigrade display. They also have a 'lock/unlock' DIP switch inside the case so that no one can tamper with your settings.

    Do they have a website or phone number?
