I tried to think of a use case where ow external made sense to me and I
couldn't find one. If I ever used direct device reads from in routines I could
see where concurrency issues might be resolved by owserver, but I use databases
to store data for processing, which is where I resolve them.

Do you have an alternative that you are using, that y
I tried to configure some external sensors, but owfs always crashed.
So far I have no knowledge of how to debug owserver, so I'm stuck at that
and currently don't follow this approach any more.

Hi Paul and Sven,
Did you guys ever get this to work?
I am running version 2.8p15 on a Raspberry Pi that was installed via apt-get
and I’m try ing to figure out how to interface an external non-1-wire device
into owfs.
Googling around I found references to this "External Sensors” capability

Paul, thanks for the quick reply!

Hi Sven,
A few months back I was trying to integrate a pressure sensor into my
1-wire network using 'owexternal' but ran into a few problems.
http://owfs-developers.1086194.n5.nabble.com/External-sensor-problems-tt10623.html
It appears to me that this section of the code still needs a little bit
I think you have the right idea.
owexternal is a protocol to use non 1-wire devices as 1-wire slaves.
Obviously we can't use normal 1-wire reading, writing, IDs or selection.
Instead the device is described in a file with links to programs that do
the actual communication and return the result.
