- iButtons
- A host system: this can be a PC, a laptop, a handheld computer, or an embedded system.
- A reader/writer device to get information into and out of the button. This can be the Blue Dot, a pen-style probe, or a handheld device.
- A layer of software to interface iButtons to computers and produce the desired information in the desired format. Several software development kits (SDKs) are downloadable from this site at no charge. For a list of SDKs and links to download, see this page. We also offer 1-Wire Drivers for Microsoft platforms, along with the OneWireViewer, a demo application that can read/write/exercise any iButton.
There is nothing new in Ireland about controlling smart appliances using GSM and Internet Technology. This technology allows the home owner to switch on or off appliances such as heating, washing machines etc.
