I might be interested in the jacks (and maybe boards) for this little possible project too:

I'll see what happens...
Stuart
Can you put me down for a couple of complete kits please.
Also how much are the double jacks likely to work out at? I could probably use half a dozen of those for less important sensors...
Thanks for the reply Stuart. When you say "properly terminated" you mean only use RJ45 (or RJ11 I suppose) connectors and not, say, plastic electrical terminal strips?
I see that Stuart's PCB has a space for a Schottky diode.
There's a mention on the digitemp site about putting one at the end of the network. I also found it described in Maxim's AN108 MicroLAN In...
Another alternative might be a high-limit stat (e.g. I have two on my unvented cylinder) with a normally-closed contact which powers a (normally open) zone valve to keep the radiator isolated. Then...
I think it depends a lot on where your boiler is located and how easy the pipework is to run.
I have Emmeti 7 zone UFH manifold and run 15mm copper to each zone (which typically covers 2 similar...
Thanks for the updates. I don't have any plans for lighting HA. My current thinking is that if I wanted to move I'd hard-wire the actuators together so that the central heating is divided into two...
Just a little "by the way" for other Joggler users:
I've had a spell running both O2 stock firmware + PMJ ("Pimp My Joggler") and Stephen Ford's Ubuntu Netbook Edition 1.3a on one of my Jogglers...
Thanks Quentin & Kevin W for your updates. It's nice to hear that 1-wire can be very reliable - sometimes it's easy to get bogged down reading about problems.
I like Kevin's idea for just using...
Sorry to dig-up an old thread but this is exactly the same question as I have now...
I am using 1-wire for CH zone control so am looking to put temp sensors (DS18B20) in several rooms. An initial...
Yes, I was wondering about that approach too - I need some kind of 1-wire to xAP gateway. HomeSeer seems to have the best support but I really don't want to go that far yet - maybe for now I can come...
Thanks for the thoughrs Mr Fluffy.
A quick update: I've received 3 DS18B20 temperature probes from Ebay (from Hong Kong) - I'm not convinced the sleeving is high temperature like the "proper"...
Hi Kevin
As you know I'm lurking on this thread as I start to try to assemble my 1-wire to Joggler heating/solar monitoring system (opn-one being discontinued has spoilt my plans somewhat... but...
Ah, yes - they look just the job (I hadn't found my way round the part numbers yet). Maybe I'll put in an order in and cross my fingers (it's not that critical if they're not installed at the same...
Hello
I'm looking to use 1-wire for temperature sensors as the first step of an HA project (see earlier).
I have a solar cylinder with pockets for temperature measurement which extend about...
It's great to see your progress. I'm at the early stages of putting in a new CH and solar (well, all the kit's sitting in the hall anyway!) so will be looking to put 1-wire themometers into the...
Background: in my kitchen I have a switched fused spur which I use to switch off the kitchen PC (plus screen & speakers) at the wall. So for the PC I click a big shutdown button, then switch off at...
Good point about the file - you could actually just write out the command into a single file and the (root) daemon could run whatever it was (and delete the file). That would allow you to power down...
Superb - that looks pretty professional Kevin!
I've been trying to get my Joggler to work reliably (& at low power) as a Squeezebox Server (using a bus-powered 120GB 2.5" USB disk) so have not...
I've just ordered a 100 WB1B after much deliberation. I'm hoping that the problems that earlier 100s had have been resolved now.
Regarding controls there are 3 options:
1) the WB1B has an Open...
Yes - the telnet procedure (http://www.joggler.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=7 and other places) puts a few files on a USB stick that the Joggler looks for when it boots (in case a manual upgrade...
Thanks Quinten - very interesting!
Kevin: Daniel Berenguer's libxap library at http://sourceforge.net/projects/opnode/ may provide most of the C library calls that would be required too (once...
Just a quick lunchtime post...
Firstly, what is iServer? Crestron/HomeSeer/open source? (there are quite a few things called this)
The OpenPeak stock firmware is running a kernel called...
Here are some initial observations:
They look pretty good - whilst not exactly in the Apple design league they are still pretty stylish and reasonably compact too.
Bending the bracket for wall...
