Hi Paul!
just to be correct, the cheapest one currently is the Seagate Dockstar :-)
about 24,90 euro for the dockstar, and 25 euro for the USB-1wire busmaster.
make in sum 49,90 euro.
the OW-Server costs $99.95
the really cheapest would certainly be "EtherWeather", yet he doesnt make them
anymore.
and also does not give the circuit plans free :-(
maybe you (Paul) could talk to him?
cheers,
Zoff.
