Theres a strange but mostly useful idea i've had that involves making a digital thermostat interface with a PC through USB or even serial. Ideally the thermostat would be able to interface with the PC and display temperatures on the PC and even send an e-mail alert if the temperature reaches a certain degree. The snag in all of this planning is that i know little to nothing about making things of this nature. A good friend of mine however does. My question now is this: Is this something thats even possible to do, and if so, does anyone have any ideas for making it?
