OWFS -- 1-Wire file system. Use the Dallas 1-Wire and iButton chips with standard linux commands. Create temperature loggers. Monitor everything. OWHTTPD -- same system, only used as a light weight web server. OWFS is also ported to WRT54G and Coldfire
This is simply great.
This project is slow-moving but that's good: it's pace is *deliberate*. Just like it needs to be. Being able to do things only dreamed of with hardware more expensive than $500-per-8-port card is darned near magic. I'm thrilled to know these people, and their software.
This project is very stable, and has a very short learning curve to understand. There has been no hiccups and the software performs well with no detectable issues. I highly recommend this as the basis for developing larger projects based on the one-wire principle.
I have been using owfs at home for 4 years now and its been solid the whole time.
I test/use OWFS for ~ 3 months now. I found OWFS code compiled cleanly and was stable by now. I like the responsibility once a good bug descriptions is available (I needed the fix for LED HobbyBoards design) and quick support for new devices (latest was UVIndex Meter from HobbyBoards). So I'm able to start using the data without bothering with the 1wire-communication in detail. Great, thanks a lot to all contributers.
