My apologies; this message got buried If I recall correctly, we tried setting the alarm thresholds on the 18B20's, then execute a syncronous convert, and all the temp sensors show up in alarm, even though their temperature hasn't changed. We tried to continue, in case it was just a temporary

And currently the temperature alarming is very, very broke. We have a situation where we have many temperature sensors sharing a onewire bus with many other sensors, for which we're already using alarming (total of ~40-70 sensors per bus; collection of 2406, 18B20, and 2450). We'd like to use

For a couple of sensors, you may as well just monitor directly. You can do more sophisticated temperature control that way as well (rate of change, etc) You will have to do temperature measurements in any case. The alarms only make sense if you have many non-parasitic sensors and do a

Hi, in my embedded application I want to monitor a couple of temperature sensors and, when the value goes below a certain amount, switch on some heaters using a pin of the DS2413. Now: what would you use? A simple script that polls the sensors with owread and turn on/off the heaters with a
