I designed some I/O modules (1Wire device based)
check them out here : http://www.java-system.co
m/
choose "I/O modules" from the right menu
"products" (sorry still a lot
of missing English translation) Also, in the download
section you can
find electrical schematics and other infos in pdf files
I created the 1Wire driver for MatPLC
Code successfully compile with MatPLC (I sent a copy to
Mario) but right
now no time to bring it to 100%
Let me know if you are interested in this I can send you the
code

Linux has some SMS server like Gnokii or smsd they can do
the trick
connected to MatPLC

Yes but all this stuff is really hard to take to a good
usability
But it's the future for houses, so don't stop working on it
