I don't know why this is such a large issue for me and this is only the second time I have had to ask for help. But homeseer literally has no good temperature monitoring hardware.
.
If your thinking why not use an arduino and the ds18b20. I have. It is plagued with errors and issues. I also like using the star wiring formation not looping. It's a much more reliable system in case of wire damage. I continue to get the ole -127 error pretty much constantly. I can hardly get 2 devices 2 even show up in the device list period. For such a simple monitoring device this should not be this hard. If I was techie enough I would design something my self thats a simple wireless z wave design. But no decent z wave design exists either.
.
I dont really need a full motion and humidity sensor with it and nor am I paying 100's of dollars for a single sensor.
.
My question is if there is any simple hardware out that that homeseer can just monitor ds18b20's. No resistors. No wiring in certain patterns. No worrying about the length of wires (within reason). No star formations. No resistors on data legs. None of that ****. These are combined to form what appear to be many various issues.
.
Also I am aware of the event I can create so the -127 does not effect the system. This is also just another poor work around for something which should be simple and generally now that I want more sensors I have come to a road block.
.
It would be better if each sensor connects directly to its own port for me which I wish it would. Tho it appears I can only create one one wire device....
