I've been working with the iButton/MicroLAN/1-wire network for almost a year
now and have thought about their usage in the wearable computing and
smarthome subworlds.  The more useful chips they offer are the addressable
switches and the thermometer.  For anyone who's interested, Dallas
Semiconductor (www.dalsemi.com) offers development APIs for the Win32
platform, and the MicroLAN family of chips can be connected through serial
or parallel ports, with the proper line driver.

Sadly, I don't think linux or other platforms are supported, but I don't
think it would be all that difficult given the extensive documentation on
the chips and their protocols.
