Hi Pete,

I have never heard of an OWFS server or Domoticz. Can you provide more information on the OWFS server?

Regards,
Ultrajones

**Pete** · July 15, 2017, 10:46 AM

The EDS embedded stuff is based on OWFS located here and here.

OWFS reads 1-wire devices connected via original maxim specifications.

These could be a direct serial connections via bus masters:

Serial

Discrete compoment (passive)
DS9790E (note the 'E')
HA2, HA3 HA4B
DS2480B-based
DS9097U
Numerous devices with an integral USB-serial convertor
LINK (PIC microprocessor)
LINK, LINK12, LINK45, LinkHub
HA7E (microprocessor-based)
HA7E HA7S
HA5 (miroprocessor)
HA5 with multidrop addressing)

USB

DS2490-based (native USB 1.1 chip)
DS9490R DS9490B
USB-Serial integrated
LinkUSB
USB9097

i2C

DS2482-100, DS2482-101 DS2482-800 DS2482-101 DS2483

Parallel

Not supported

Ethernet

LinkHubE
HA7NET
OW-SERVER-ENET

Network

ser2net
owserver
Xport

Built-in

kernel module w1

Trying a test here using an RPi enabled OWServer running OWFS. Thinking that the EDS OWServer output is xml on the EDS OWServer versus HTML on the standard OWFS.

OWFS has been around for a very long time....before EDS was around.

Domoticz reads standard OWServer device directory. It uses LUA (C) for much of the very tight programming.

I am embedding sensors pages over to HSTouch pages and concurrently embedding created sensor variables via Digitemp text files.

IE: initially testing is with an RPI but you can write this stuff to an Arduino if you wanted to.

I have turned the POE connected RPi2 in the attic to:

1 - ZNet like device using the ZWave GPIO card in it.
2 - 1-Wire network hub for the 2nd floor and attic and lightning sensor counter

Multipurposing it.

Doing similiar with lightning sensor board ...on another RPi...not one wire though...

Hi Pete,

Thank you for providing the additional details. If you could mimic the behavior of the EDS OWServer by returning the readings in XML format, then my plug-in would work with little modifications. If you're interested in this approach, then let me know and I'll provide you additional details. Otherwise, I do not have any plans on adding support for OWFS as the required skills to set it up is beyond the average HomeSeer user.

Regards,
Ultrajones

**Pete** · July 15, 2017, 11:56 AM

Thank you Randy. I am interested.

Yes looking right now to find a script that creates an XML format of the owfs html format.

Here is just the regular format directory....

Same question has been posted on a few forums (automation and 1wire OWFS).

On linux RPi or Ubuntu OWFS is just:

apt install owfs

Then it is just configuring the configuration file for the 9097.

from lxml import html, etree

doc = html.fromstring(open('a.html').read())
out = open('a.xhtml', 'wb')
out.write(etree.tostring(doc))

The following NEW packages will be installed:
python-lxml

OK got a PHP script that emulates the EDS owserver. Running it in debug mode generates the EDS owserver xml file.

It works except that it doesn't see the schema located here:

The PHP script cannot find the schema.

Hi Pete,

So you're all set?

**Pete** · July 15, 2017, 06:44 PM

Not yet...almost...

I am not sure if it is related to running Wheezy / PHP 5.4 (old) / xml-parser

Keep getting errors running php. Wondering now if it is because I have humidity and counters enabled?

All I have to do is run a cron job to post an xml file...

Have to edit this part of the php script to include my combo temperature/humidity and dual counter.

Code:

// This array defines the value to retrieve for common 1-wire families
// information for adding more families can be found at the link below
//[B]hxxp://owfs.org/index.php?page=family-code-lookup[/B]
$family = array( "10" => array("getval" => "temperature", "description" => "Parasite power thermometer"), // DS18S20 temp
                 "26" => array("getval" => "temperature", "description" => "Parasite power thermometer"), // DS18B20 temp
                 "28" => array("getval" => "temperature", "description" => "Parasite power thermometer"), // DS18B20 temp
                 "24" => array("getval" => "date", "description" => "Real time clock"),                   // DS1904 RTC

                 "2C" => array("getval" => "wiper", "description" => "Digital potentiometer") );          // DS2890 digital pot

$temp_unit = shell_exec("owread /settings/units/temperature_scale");
$units = array( "C" => "Centigrade", "F" => "Fahrenheit");

**Pete** · July 15, 2017, 09:58 PM

Think its working even though I am still getting some errors.

This is what I changed:

// hxxp://owfs.org/index.php?page=family-code-lookup
$family = array( "10" => array("getval" => "temperature", "description" => "Parasite power thermometer"), // DS18S20 temp
                 "26" => array("getval" => "temperature", "description" => "Temperature Voltages and Current"), // DS2438 temp
                 "26" => array("getval" => "humidity", "description" => "Voltages and Current"), // DS2438 hum
                 "1D" => array("getval" => "counters.A", "description" => "Parasite power counter"), // DS2423 counterA
                 "1D" => array("getval" => "counters.B", "description" => "Parasite power counter"), // DS2423 counterB
                 "28" => array("getval" => "temperature", "description" => "Parasite power thermometer"), // DS18B20 temp
                 "24" => array("getval" => "date", "description" => "Real time clock"),                   // DS1904 RTC
                 "27" => array("getval" => "time", "description" => "Real time clock"),                   // DS1904 RTC
                 "2C" => array("getval" => "wiper", "description" => "Digital potentiometer") );          // DS2890 digital pot

This is the errors I see:

The plugin now is not erroring out as before. It is though not reading in the data and I still have not figured out the descriptors using for the combo temperature/humidity sensors and the counters. It is seeing the counters but not the humidity sensors.

This is how it is configured. Writing the file here to the dub dub dub root. The plugin looks at the details.xml file. There are no disconnects now. But it is not populating devices. IE: it sees a counter, calls it device #5 then errors on the numbers (whole number integers). I just point the plugin to the RPi2 dub dub dub directory port 80. I just installed Apache2 and PhP on the RPi2. Not mysql for time bean.

~ZNet:/var/www# ls
details.xml html index.html index.php owserver.php

I am using this stuff documented on the OWFS site.

Family-code lookup

[ATTACH]62304[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH]62305[/ATTACH]

Over the years here have collected a variety of one wire devices.

Temperature, combo (humidity and temperture), combo 2 (light, humidity and temperature), dual counters, AAG Weather stations (2), barometer, Temp08s and Temp05's, Maxim USB and Serial hubs(?)...from originally AAG, Midon, maxim and Hobby boards and purchasing single 1-wire temperature sensors in bulk (at one time it was like $10 for 10 or more of these sensors).

New thing now is writing the OWFS system in to arduinos wired or wirelessly and using Mosquitto. I have tested out the Mosquitto installation on same RPi here and it works fine. IE: there is a DIY step by step documented process for OWFS-Mosquitto.

Until recently had my 1-wire stuff wired up in star fashion using cat5e run to the leviton 42 inch panel. It worked like this for many years. It was all in Wintel (and a combo using xAP and regular 1-wire stuff) and now looking to shift it over to Linux and sort of mini hubs maybe based on the RPi2 with a combo set up (sort of spoke and hub thing). The initial testing here is one RPi2 in the attic (multiple functional one) with mostly 1-wire combination sensors and one lightning counter covering the attic space and 2nd floor. Next endeavor will be another RPi2 covering main floor and basement. The network connectivity of the plugin to using the OWFS standards makes this possible and very easy.

Cost savings for me is that I have a few RPi's that are spares and much old 1-wire stuff sitting around not being used these days having started to play with this stuff in the late 1990's.

Note that the Php script came for a perl script which eventually was used for a OWFS-SERVER emulator for the Casa Verde box and the ISY box. Tested one plugin running it in mono which creates a web server which writes xml to the mothership automation program. The software mentioned above uses LUA, Python, Perl or whatever tight language for running on theRPi.

**Pete** · July 17, 2017, 12:06 PM

Update 17th of July.

Running the php to xml file not getting any errors now.

The top of the details.xml file looks like this:

Not sure if I am configuring the plugin correctly.

Calling the device temperature-test

IP configuration is:

I do not see any errors when starting the plugin but do not see the first device being created.

@Randy is there some typo in the details.xml file that makes it now work?

BTW also noticed on the HS3 mothership that the debug logs are getting written to the root...IE:

Its just that backward forward slash thing...

Wow Pete, do you have a day job?

I have not had time to keep up with your effort here. If you are attempting to mimic what the EDS OWServer does for all of the different types of sensors, then it won't work unless you make the XML file identical to what the EDS OWServer would output. I am okay with adding support for a custom XML file as long as the work we do can be leveraged by anyone else trying to implement something simlair. Can you send me the XML file that contains the output of all of your sensors and associated values so I can check out what we are dealing with? I'll review then make suggestions on a final version we can use to import the sensors and values.

Regards,
Ultrajones

Hello Randy,

Out of boredom...only watch movies and never listen to the radio or watch television or read the newspapers...just play with computers mostly....

Last test here was just to get a copy of the xml file in the manual for the EDS server with one device and copy it over to the RPi2 running OWServer and Apache2 and PHP.

OW-SERVER-ENET-2 - User Manual

Just pointed your plugin to the 192.168.244.169:80/details.xml and waited. Never saw any devices created and debug doesn't show any errors.

All of the OWSERVER devices are mounted here:

ICS-ZNet:~# ls /mnt/1wire
1D.37C907000000 26.993AF5000000 alarm simultaneous system
26.3B3AF5000000 26.B3CA14000000 bus.0 statistics uncached
26.8CC814000000 28.CFD8F4020000 settings structure

PHP script is in the /var/www/ directory

ICS-ZNet:/var/www# ls
1wiretest.py html index.php owserver.php
details.xml index.html mipi-1wire.pl

You just run PHP like so (via a cron job as often as you want).

The php script uses owserver built in commands (owread) to read the 1-wire network devices and temperatures or whatever.

ICS-ZNet:/var/www/html# php owserver.php

ZNet:/var/www/html# ls
details.xml index.html index.php owserver.php owserver.php.bak

First sensor it sees should work. This is the top of the xml file and first sensor.

Code:

<Devices-Detail-Response xmlns="hxxp://www/embededdatasystems.com/schema/owserv$
  <DevicesConnected>6</DevicesConnected>
  <DataErrors>0</DataErrors>
  <DeviceName>EDSOWSERVER</DeviceName>
  <HostName>ICS-ZNet</HostName>
  <owd_DS18B20 Description="Programmable Resolution Thermometer">
    <Name>DS18B20</Name>
    <Family>28</Family>
    <ROMId>F5000002F4D8CF28</ROMId>
    <PrimaryValue>48.3125 Deg C</PrimaryValue>
    <Temperature Units="Centigrade">48.3125</Temperature>
  </owd_DS18B20>

Honestly not sure how your plugin works but assumed that it only looks for the details.xml file and nothing else.
I am guessing it will work fine with the old Temp08-5's that I have. If you get it to work then you can build a one wire network from a RPi using the RPi i2C methodology or a maxim serial or usb hub device these days. Here my RPi2 is also a ZNet like device POE powered in the attic. It is now doing both Z-Wave and 1-wire stuff.

The PhP file to details.xml is very generic and was written up for Vera users using the EDS Vera server plugin but taking the XML file from the old OWServer as documents some 15 years ago...the Vera plugin just uses java (I think) to read the details dot xml file. It works with both this script and the official EDS OW-Server appliance.
