RE: [mh] MH triumphs (well, sorta)

Hi Gaeton,

I developed some basic 1wire (ibutton) hardware that I use for PIR's, door
inputs, pump and lighting control.
For some old pictures got to my site

Hi Rick,
Sorry to here about your misfortune.
I use a combination of X10RF PIR's as well as wired PIR's. The wired units
are connected to MH via 1wire.
Each wired PIR has a 1wire device internally, so I can tell which unit
tripped. Same could be done for doors and windows.


Any chance to know how this is done (PIR/1Wire), hardware speaking. Do you
have any diagram or URL.

Thank you
