If I change no wiring then I need a solution that can handle two forms of 1-wire hubs that use DS2409. One has the hobby board proprietary/custom device. I also have DS2426, DS2450, DS2423, DS2408, DS2406, DS2405, DS1820 and DS18B20. The counters and A/D converters have application-layer logic that exists in xapmcs1wire now. Most of my devices use parasitic power and I do not know if the DIO and libraries can accommodate. It will be some learning and strategy when I start to update my 1-wire environment. I have already used the Sonoff to replace a problematic DS2423 location that is being used to count water meter pulses. I agree that the ESP8266 makes for a good solution when starting. I remember the challenges of running Cat 5 for 1-wire.

Amazed here the familiarity to xAP with the new mcsMQTT plug-in.
At the user level there really is little difference between xAP and MQTT as just two different dialects of a lightweight communication protocol.
From a system architecture perspective xAP does better in a stable network. MQTT is better for nodes that tend to be flaky with the QOS considerations.

Here switched off xAP when I migrated to Linux HS3 (X2 boxes).
Been collecting 1-wire sensors since the late 1990s such that I have AAG, HB and Midon sensors here along with Midon Temp0X (4 of these today) and Maxim and some chinese replicate 1-wire stuff.
Sometime or another did create mini star shaped 1-wire hubs using multiple serially connected 1-wire controllers using small 8 port punch panels - one for each network.
Then also added Leviton HAI sensors going to the alarm panel. These are mostly utilized for HVAC hard control.
So here to keep busy (bored as usual) decided to break down and redo the 1-wire network from scratch.
It has been working fine with Digitemp / HS3 Script.
Mostly now I am in learning mode and starting with the RPI stuff then gradually shifting it ardunios (have a collection here).
On a side note here also been playing with micro travel routers (with GPIO pins for tinkering that cost between $10-$15).
Using OpenWRT as an OS the microrouters have built in ethernet ports and wireless and you can add an arduino inside the tiny cases.
I can replicate the RPi 1-wire configuration to this microrouter with built in wireless in a footprint that is about 2" square. (also have a tiny 1" X 2" microrouter that also works this way).Last edited by Pete; March 2, 2018, 03:12 PM.- Pete

@Michael,
You mentioned a dual counter configuration for your water meter early on. What exact hardware did you order to utilize this? Is it from Ebay?
Looking to utilize this set up for my old Hobby Boards lightning sensor with a dual counter.
Tinkering in the last few days with OpenWRT and installation of MTQQ and NodeJS / OWFS works fine using a Maxim U9097.- Pete
