I would like to setup DIY Zoning but I have some questions.

1. Software
Preferred OS - Centos 5.x?
What is the status of DIY Zoning v2.0?
Michael reported he had problems during his re-install.
Was a how-to developed to aid in the installion of the software?
2. Hardware
Protocol
1-Wire
One line - Daisy Chain
Multiple lines - Star topology (Channel Hub required)
Address hardwired by Maxim/Dallas
1 resistor per line?
Adapter (Serial .vs. USB) - What if PC does not have a serial port? (USB to Serial adapter)
I2C
Star topology
2 resistors per sensor
102 (127 - reserved) devices per line
Must set address for sensor
Do the sensor/resistors need to be mounted on a PCB?
Limited to short distances?
Controller
Arduino
Pololu
single .vs. stacked
Phidget servo controllers

Hobby Board 8 Channel I/O

1-Wire PCB RC Servor - What controller does it support?

How much control do you have over there servo? (e.g. 45, 90, 180 degrees)
Can you determine where a servo is? (current location)
What about individual servo varriance? (e.g. 41 .vs. 49 degrees - different servos)
Thermostat
Multiple thermostats? (one per room)
Touchscreen supported?
