The reboot was an easy way to unload the 1-wire kernel module from memory, if there was a change to make. Under linux, that can be done from the command line but it's at the risk of introducing errors and further confusion. A reboot is far simpler. Sadly, that seems to be the outcome for those who have run into problems with owfs and Pi4's (or Buster installations). There's been no real solution except a vague, hand waving reboot. That's hard to document with a straight face, and certainly with any authority :-) Still, it works now, and hopefully it will keep working. And yes... stay well. -- Cheers Glenn rorpi - read only raspberry pi & various weewx addons https://github.com/glennmckechnie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
