1wire support

[twodogs]

I'm looking for a serial adapter and I'm finding a variety from $12-$65. Is the Hobby Boards adapter pictured above the best choice or is their another part number I should get?

hmm that might explain why mine has never worked on LMCE but flawless in windows.

is it supported by owfs at all? Is it supported by owfs as serial device?

This one works fine: http://www.ibuttonlink.com/linkusb.aspx

Hari,

Are we saying that we should replace our DS9490R's with the one you suggest com would you like me to send you mine to test?

[twodogs]

It looks like _if_ got his USB device working, so now I'm confused. I don't know if I have incompatible hardware, or if I need to keeping going with the USB adapter I have. I've had it working on Windows XP. I'll see if I can get it going with OWFS and Linux.

IF,

What does your respond to events look like?

they work perfectly now, you just need to set them under advanced-configuration-events and not at eventshandler-respond to events...thats all

IF,

Maybe Im doing something wrong on my 0810 install..... 
Is it all autodetect or do we have to manually enter required fields? If so, what needs to be entered where?

Karel

[_if_]

on 10.04 everything is autodetected, I'm not shure if that is now for 8.10 as well...

basically you connect the interface, everything gets installed, then I believe you need a reload or even a restart, then there should show up childdevices in webadmin unter climate for each connected sensor with its ID already filled in, as far as I remember you need to set the type ("thermometer") manually and then place it at the floorplan. That should be it.

I Noticed that on my 1004 install, that I completed today.
Only thing I couldnt get working was the floorplan, but I'll change the type to thermometer and see if it works.

Wow!

A couple years ago I bought a kit with one USB-adapter and two sensors from china for like 30bucks. I never got the USB adapter to work in linux using either digitemp nor OWFS, so it has been collecting dust ever since...

Guess if I got surprised when I plugged it into my 10.04 core and added it manually in web-admin and IT WORKS!! All I had to do was to plug it in, add the device in webadmin and assign it to a USB port. It detected the sensors automatically and now I can read the temp on my orbiters, WOW!

Is it possible to strip out the uninteresting device state data from whats displayed on the orbiters (ON/AUTO/) ?

@Gangsingen: I asked hari (who wrote the driver for 1wire) about that a while ago and his answer was that there would be needed a little modification in the climate plugin. I have not looked into it yet, but would like to get just the value displayer as well...

Yeah! "A little modification"..... Maybe a good starting point to start learning how the stuff really works under the hood?!!
