I just checked and bus.0/settings/timeout_volatile is set to the default of 15 seconds while settings/timeout_volatile has the 300 seconds I set it to. I'll change the former to 300 to see what happens. What is the difference between bus.0/settings/timeout_volatile and settings/timeout_volatile? I mean, which one gets used and under what circumstances? By the way, I no longer need to use a longer volatile timeout since I realized I cannot block for a few seconds even every five minutes (I am getting temperatures into the MisterHouse home automation program and MisterHouse cannot block while the 1-wire bus is read since then other home automation activities performed by MisterHouse cannot take place). Instead, I am reading owfs 1-wire data from a program that can block, and MisterHouse reads, without ever blocking, the data collected by this other program.
