1-wire devices have been around a long time.
Historically with HS2 I was using multiple 1-wire networks wired in a star fashion.
2 Temp-08's, 1 Temp-05 and a couple of 9097 dual port USB devices.
Each network was punched in to a small Leviton phone punch panel and went from the punch panel to a temp-0x or 9097 device. Worked fine like this for many years even though it was a star topology.
The integration of all of these to Homeseer 2 started with me bugging Jim Doolittle as he used to live nearby my old home. I would give him all of the 1-wire devices that I was playing with at the time.
Then I went to using xAP (MCS) for the multiple 1-wire networks plus mcsTemp.
Note that the 1-wire networks had many different types of devices.
Recently started to play with Linux software called DigiTemp running it on my ZNet like device in the attic and connecting it to temperature / humidity sensors on the second floor of the house. Digitemp does a read of sensors every 5 minutes and will post the reading as a text file. The text file is copied over to two HS boxes and read by a script that Rob wrote to create variables. Might be easier just to include the reading part from the source in Rob's script.
Also now playing with OWFS. They are different. Starting looking in to the "blue kit" which is a revised lightning sensor board from the old "red kit".
