Thermocron iButton Manager

Thermocron iButton Manager is a set of bash-scripts providing simple tools and even a simple user interface for managing and setting up Thermocron iButtons and to extract and visualize the logged data.

Thermocron iButton Manager has been developed and tested mainly in an Cygwin™ environment.

• Set up logging with user defined interval (1..255 minutes)
• Set up logging mission with user defined delay (0..1092 hours)
• Toggle log rollover
• Show status including the iButton's memory content
• Set iButton's memory content
• Stop logging mission
• Extract logged data, save it automatically to a plain text file in a predefined path, create automatically a temperature graph

• Quickstart - finds all connected Thermocron iButtons and starts a logging mission on all of them immediately. No log rollover, no delay, logging interval 1 minute.

Relies on

• OWFS
• RRDtool
• Cygwin/Linux, bash, dialog

You can download the sources from GitHub tcibm-repository by issuing the following command

git clone git://github.com/clemens-it/tcibm

To plot graphs from the logged temperature data RRDtool is used. Make sure it is installed in your *nix environment. For Cygwin go to the RRDtool Download page and download the windows binaries (look for “Primary Distribution Point”, link “Stable Release”). Extract the zip-file (e.g. rrdtool-1.2.30-win32-perl510.zip) - you will find the rrdtool.exe binary in the subfolder data/rrd2/rrdtool-1.2.30/Release
