I have done some work on snmp enabling thermostats and burglar alarm systems
with the end goal to integrate with asterisk / web interface eventually. SNMP
in general is well supported and well documented for controlling devices. A
subagent for the particular hardware and a generic snmp interface for asterisk
would be what is required. The devices I was working with are actually talked
to physically by the Dallas 1-wire hardware/protocol, and there is various
linux support already for talking to those type of busses.

interfacing to asterisk could be a nice module that talks snmp, or it could be
as simple as calling the existing shell commands from netsnmp such as snmpget
and snmpset.

If anyone wants to discuss with me offlist, I have official IANA enterprise
numbers already allocated for this, as well as some of the mibs started which
cover a lot more than just the thermostats.
