Oh. Now THAT was simple. :-) Thanks! > Intermittent los of devices is not unusual. The 1-wire bus can be a little > flaky, especially with a "hub" that sounds like a line spltter. I don't know what it is exactly, but as it cost only about $10, you are most likely right. From what I've read so far, the search for devices on the bus tends to cause the most errors in flaky conditions, and the reading of sensors is not that critical. owserver probably regularly scans the bus, and if it "misses" a device, that device is "gone" and inaccessible until the next sucessful scan is performed. Am I correct with that? Is there a way of just giving owserver a list of devices (the IDs etc.) that it always expects on the bus in addition to what is scans? If not, I think that would be a nice new feature to have, e.g. via command line options or a file that can be dumped/read. What do you think of that? It would probably solve all my intermittent loss problems. The one other 1wire home automation system I know (a commercial product sold im Germany) offers this solution with a sensor database it keeps, so they thought it's not a bad idea, at least...
