Can somebody explain to me why on earth people use so many 1wire buses? Do many use hundreds of devices and need to split them across buses? That thing has 17 1wire channels. I have never had need for more than 1, even with >100 sensors. The whole beauty of 1Wire is extendable single bus multi

Hi, I've been lurking for a while. This isn't exactly 1-wire related, but I know a bunch of people on this list are interested in control systems. When I rebuilt my house, I put in a system that is a combination of residential and commercial design with much more controllability than would

Hello! I have a question, why does some of my 1-wire devices get listed several times by OWFS? They have the same ID and inode-number, so now my application have to filter out the duplicates. I'm running OWSERVER: owserver version: 2.8p15 libow version: 2.8p15 On a Raspberry Pi with
