Sometimes the DS18B20 if its not communicating correctly returns 85, I do
not know the reason, it happened to myself a number of times when I first

The formatting of my script lost its <cr> however suppose you get the idea
of testing the returned value from owread via -z and >than what you believe
the value should be.
