Interesting data point, and makes me want to take another look. I have both implementations written up and ended up using os.walk on owfs dir as I found it fastest, despite having to write more code around it (obviously).

Hi,

just want to give +1 for pyownet. I'm using it for my network and it works 100% flawless, scanning the alarm dir ~10 times per second and the full bus every 30 second, reading ~25 temperature sensors every 30 seconds.

This have been running for about a year now, using my own master software which was designed for a mixed network with slow but powered temperature sensors and "quick" PIO-devices (such as DS2406), where it is important to service any PIO input changes quickly (alarm + latch): https://github.com/stromnet/pyowmaster

I have not yet tested the socket persistence though, that is on my todo-list!

Let me answer to the python part of your question.

To access 1-wire sensors from a python script you have two options:

A) install the owserver daemon and access 1-wire data via the owserver protocol (aka ownet), see http://owfs.org/index.php?page=owserver-protocol
B) directly access the “physical bus” from your script.

Let discuss the two approaches.


*A) access via owserver.*

The owserver protocol is a TCP network protocol. In python you can use either a pure python implementation, or link to an external C library that implements the protocol.

As what regards pure python there are two options:

  * ownet from the official distribution
  * pyownet, available on pypi
    https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyownet (pip install pyownet) with
    docs here: http://pyownet.readthedocs.org/en/latest/#


(I wrote pyownet to improve the official implementation, which is not more maintained on pipy where it stuck at version 0.2 of 2006-12-15)

Alternatively you can go for a binary library binding, which will introduce a run time dependency to libow

  * ow from the official distribution
  * pyowfs, available on pypi
    https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyowfs (pip install pyowfs) with
    docs here: http://priesch.co.at/pyowfs



In the case of the owserver protocol I would suggest using one of the two pure python implementations: bottleneck is usually the 1-wire bus, so there is no need to go to a C implementation of the TCP protocol. Performance is fairly good with both ownet and pyownet, with a slight edge on pyownet, with implements socket persistence and is actively maintained. (OK, this is the developer view.)


*B) direct access to the bus.*

This is not possible with pure python so you have to go with one of the two C API bindings (the official ow or pyowfs). I have no experience with this approach (I always install owserver first) so I can’t give informed advice. However I would first try pyowfs since it is maintained on pypi.

Further to my above message, I am having a bit of a problem accessing the pressure attribute for the EDS environment sensor EDS0066. I have trawled google and am not able to find any documentation on how I can do this. In
fact, as a whole, I have found this to be the case with owpython and it
seems I am missing my crystal ball.
I'd appreciate a bit of help and guidance.
