From a users perspective I want more flexible slave devices which are capable of making decisions themselves. With the host (OWFS) providing a means of configuration and supervision only. At this stage I do not care about what hardware platform the slaves takes on however I am more

For the Clock controlled output Slave. I understand its hard to get an onboard RTC however I would like to see something like the BAE0910 have an I2C interface for fixed type functions RTC: http://www.futurlec.com/Mini_DS1307.shtml And I2C I/O bus expander chip Connected via direct ribbon to

Just note that it is not sufficient to poll alarm directory to discover units with threshold voltages . The alarm condition is only set after a conversion. You have to trigger this conversion in you polling loop via a simultaneous command. Pascal 2010/2/26 Alessio Sangalli ale...@manoweb.com

A PC is definitely more powerful, and its programming paradigms are easier to address, true. However, we've played those games in our OW setup, and have been going back to the do-it-on-hardware side. For us, we have a large network of OW devices (often 50+), a PC software suite written by a

Jim, You are closer to my view of control systems. I generally want susbsystems to be able to act autonomously with the brains doing the more complex work. So it's more like a hierarchy than a pure mesh. I also think about redundancy. Just because 1wire is low cost doesn't mean it can't be

Jerry others: I was thinking that a personality could be loaded into the chip via owfs (just as a memory write, basically). While I haven't worked on this enough to know the size, I also envision this being an infrequent task (when you first set up a new device, or when you do a major
