Dewpoint depends on temperature and humidity, see
Dew Point Calculator.
I've read that humidity sensors tend to be inaccurate, so if you were to utilize a combination of temperature & humidity sensors to determine dew point, you would probably need a good margin of error and make it adjustable as its tested in the real world. I'm not aware of a device that does this for you, but it may be out there.
Such a setup would ideally include a well-controlled indoor humidity - so a dehumidifier and good water vapor control in the envelope. This and/or a large amount of hygroscopic material such as cellulose insulation would stifle swings in humidity and make the environment more predictable.
