[Weather] Help with DS2408

[Dean Maluski]

I got status monitoring working today along with latch monitoring.
I'm writing in php.
I'm not quite done yet as I need to create a table with ICONS. Currently
the status is in text format. I should have the table done in the next
hour or so.
I'm short on IC's right now so I don't expect to have a demo available
on my home server, if I do it will be short lived. I ordered more IC's
from "Hobby Boards" today.
If anyone would like a copy of the code I'd be glad to send it. I really
won't consider it complete until I add Ajax updates, email on events,
databasing events and hovering. My thinking is that hovering over a
faulted line will show a statement as to who is addressing the fault,
probably get that from the database.
