Okay, thanks for the info. I got the manpage from the website: http://owfs.org/index.php?page=ds18s20
I thought of way to use them. For example I have my sensors that I read in a loop for each run from the hub. I do have a couple checks in each loop to see if delta from previous read is larger than 10F and if temp read was 185F for possible error trap. But some sensors require special checks cause of what they measure. For example the furance plenum can have a delta larger than 10F when the heat is on, so I have to check it with a different trap. Or the outside sensors could go below/above the in house sensors. With the templow/temphigh I could set each sensor range and script just check against them. Instead of having separate traps in the script. Just an idea I haven't tried it yet, but might after I get my hvac control finished. Hmmm, I set one DS18S20 where it should have set off an alarm and never got an alarm directory/file. I also noticed that the temphigh I set to 60F got changed to 59F later when read it. Templow stayed where set it. Yep just tried it. Didn't happen until I went to the uncached, there it said 59 when I wrote 60 to the cached. Then went back to cached and said 59. Why does uncached show 1 degree F lower than I set the temphigh? And then when cached updates it gets same value.
