When do you see the interface show "registered" in LMCE admin?
Where in the sequence do you plug the sensor/s into the interface adapter?

Looks like the packages are installed. I've tried to delete and re-add 1-wire, but womb is still barren - no children at all. The update gave me some errors that don't look like they concern 1-wire, but then again who knows? My 1-wire adapter is still showing unregistered after several hours. It had registered before, but I don't know how long it took.

Is there a way to check the existence of libowfs and force it to load?

I deleted and re-added this morning. Nothin. Not sure that libowfs ever loaded. Any idea where it should be?

Gangsingen - thanks - having just bought a more expensive adapter I hope I don't have to buy another! Perhaps I'm having trouble because I'm using 0810. I'll try my test 1004 system when I can set it up.

Hari. No luck with the update and install. I'm appreciating your assistance and I'm sure this is going to work eventually.

In LMCE admin I went to Wizard->Devices->Media Directors and changed "hardware acceleration" from "xv" to "vdpau". I left the "video card" set to "standard" although I wonder if I should change it to "GeForce or TNT2". After reloading the router, I played a ripped DVD. The now audio lags behind the video by about 1/2 second. My hardware is listed with my signature below, and is fully compatible.
Seems like VDPAU is a worthwhile feature to enable. I understand it offloads much of the video load from the processor to the graphics chip (for GeForce 8400 or better). How can I bring the audio back in sync?




twodogs

I've reloaded the router and rebooted a few times.

I was performing another chore on my core and caught the pop-up software box saying "failed to get libowfs". Pretty good clue, but I don't know how to solve the problem.

I also initially ordered a LinkUSB and received a LinkUSBi

Thanks DragonK - that's good to know. The temp sensor has been in all night and has not appeared as a child yet. Hari, I'll be patient but why does it take so long? Under what conditions does the software create new child devices? There has been no activity on the log since 10:30 last night - about 10 hours ago. This is installed in the LMCE 0810 version.

OK, the new adapter arrived today from iButtonLink. I thought I got the same adapter that Hari was using, but I didn't.

Hari has this the linkusb...
http://www.ibuttonlink.com/linkusb.aspx

I have the linkusbi...
http://www.ibuttonlink.com/linkusbi.aspx

According to the website, "The difference between LinkUSB and LinkUSBi is the addition of a DS2401 ID chip in the LinkUSBi." I hope that does not render it unusable for LMCE. I plugged it into my core and the detection scripts started to roll by, trying to determine what the new device was (it couldn't). I manually entered the device as a child of the core. Unlike my other adapter, this one gave my a USB port option (see picture). After some time it registered (see picture). I then added my temp sensor and nothing happened. I know it takes awhile but its been an hour, so I'm suspicious that something is wrong. I hope its not the wrong adapter (again).

Twodogs

There is still probably some (maybe more) good content that doesn't link to the favourites menu. I tried to link most of the easy stuff, but there is just a lot of content to sort!

twodogs

Great. Found a USA supplier.

http://www.ibuttonlink.com/linkusbi.aspx

I might wait a few days to see if Tschak knows of a way to change the polarity of the flux capacitor, but looking at the source files tells me that this thing is complicated. I'll probably just get one that works.

Hari, for anyone buying a new 1-wire adapter, what product do you recommend?

Yeah, thanks for your assistance too Techstyle. I'd like for my system to save more money and energy than it spends. My goals are somewhat lofty, but I'll chip away at them. I'd like LMCE to track my location in the house and control the temperature based upon the occupied areas. If we're in the living room with the fireplace on, then I'd like the furnace to idle down. In summer, I'd like to have an outside weather station to provide temp and humidity info and let the system determine if we should use A/C or evaporative cooling. I'm already saving about $60 per month in phone bills with the VOIP. So the 1-wire system is pretty important.

twodogs

By the way, thanks Hari for your help. I know you might have other fish to fry. On the one hand, the 9490R seems like it might be a good piece of hardware for LMCE to support - if you agree I'll do whatever I can to help get the thing to work. On the other hand if this seems a waste of time, I'll just buy a different adapter.
