		<title>Using Industrial Control System Concepts at Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a web site (http://www.1wireprojects.net) that uses the CGU4x1 USB devices to control home automation using 1-wire devices. The USB interfaces can communicate with 1-wire devices and forms the basis for home automation through some custom-made 1-wire interface modules. Welcome to my 1-Wire Project web site. I created this site to discuss and help [...]]]></description>
