same alias for 2 sensor is a problem 2 alias for 1 sensor isn't the problem of 2 alias for 1 sensor is syntax of alias file XX.XXXXXXXX = alias1 alias2 we should not have spaces, or another character to separate alias1 and 2 an idea is character / since it's a directory character not alowed to a file (owfs shouldn't use it), for example: XX.XXXXXXXX = alias1/alias2
