Hi,

first of all I would try with the latest release of OWFS.
Both 2.8p15 and 2.9p8 are pretty old (May 2015, Oct 2014).  3.1p1 is the 
latest release version from January 2016.
I have no idea about what is available for RPi though. You may have to 
build yourself, but search the owfs-developers archives first!
