Maybe I’m being a bit thick here but why use a lux9000 thermostat when maxim do an iButton temp logger that could act as an intelligent thermostat with a bit of programming and hacking via the tini

seems maxim-ic.com can’t handle the traffic of being featured on h.a.d. or maybe it’s just coincidence … anyway, at 1939 edt the site is not responding.

Your mirrored source is in fact an html file with a zip extension! What you're looking for is:

http://files.dalsemi.com/tini/appnotes/AN700/Thermostat.zip

It comes complete with a nice write-up in pdf form.

Nice.Personally I would use I2C as the communication protocol. This is a much more common protocol (nearly every PC has it) and has more software and hardware support.
You can get USB to I2C adapters for virtually nothing, and build your own for less. check out http://www.harbaum.org/till/i2c_tiny_usb/index.shtml this for a GPL USB to I2C converter, or (shameless plug) http://www.headfuzz.co.uk/USBtoI2C for the super fast high speed version.

I’m starting to think I should check had a little less often, this is the second time in the last couple days that I’ve caught a hack within a minute of posting…

as for the hack itself, I wonder if the tini is any more straightforward to implement than that Ethernet communication device microchip produces?
