The Tiny Internet Interface or TINI for short, is a microcontroller

Microcontroller

A microcontroller is a small computer on a single integrated circuit containing a processor core, memory, and programmable input/output peripherals. Program memory in the form of NOR flash or OTP ROM is also often included on chip, as well as a typically small amount of RAM...

 that includes the facilities necessary to connect to the Internet. The TINI platform is a microcontroller-based development platform that executes code for embedded web servers. The platform is a combination of broad-based I/O

I/O

I/O may refer to:* Input/output, a system of communication for information processing systems* Input-output model, an economic model of flow prediction between sectors...

, a full TCP/IP stack, and an extensible Java runtime environment that simplifies development of network-connected equipment.

1-Wire

1-Wire is a device communications bus system designed by Dallas Semiconductor Corp. that provides low-speed data, signaling, and power over a single signal. 1-Wire is similar in concept to I²C, but with lower data rates and longer range. It is typically used to communicate with small inexpensive...
