Re: Cat-5e

I have not used yet but I intend to use this hub
http://www.hobby-boards.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1511
Then I will hang off 3 cables - temp sensors, PIR and a humidity
branch. I need to poll the PIR and humidity much more than the temp
sensors branch.  I'm writing my own software to run on a solid state
linux controller.
Not to my knowledge is there anything commercial that deals with
1-wire like this, thats why me and others I'm sure roll our own.
