I read this, but it's exactly what I don't understand... I don't have any
'owexternal' binary, maybe I have to compile it from source with
"--enable-owexternal"?
But even after this - where do I put those configuration options mentioned
in the "example syntax"?
Are those 2 separate text files, one for sensors, one for families?
Or do I simply include those lines in owfs.conf, maybe without the need of
an additional owexternal binary?
And what is the fourth sensor field (/dev/ttyUSB0), the actual parameter to
the read/write scripts?
To give a general use case, I could simply write a bash script to display
the current memory usage, disk free space and so on.
If one has a LED or beeper in its system, there would also be a use case
for write operations...
