Hi Jan, I don't suggest that a OWFS address hardware issues other than at a "semantics" level. There are indeed many other standards for wiring and connectors (But for 1-wire, 1WRJ45, The Dallas RJ11/12 standard are the most common these days).
IMO, we are likely to see more 1-wire devices in the future that aren't tied directly to a particular hardware chip ID. So allowing higher level abstract devices will be mandatory in the future. The actual mechanisms of how they will be recognized and supported, has not yet been defined. But that is another discussion and will likely be driven by the actual nature of the devices themselves. By having a OWFS certified logo attached to their product manufactures can be assured of full support and testing of their products by OWFS in exchange for testing hardware and maybe fees. And in exchange receive a way to advertise their product compatibility with the software and insure some level of testing. Non certified products may or may not be supported by the OWFS software with no guarantees to the manufacture (ie. buyer beware). As it is today. Anyway, that my general idea.
