What happens e.g. if I want to add a totally new fancy roadrunner detector by ACME from which nobody else ever heard or my own sensor I invented myself? As I assume there are no pre-defined exports like fancy.1..N nor myself.1..N (as you can't know yet how they work), I would be very happy about such a generic/general interface. If it would allow to return an array (vector, list however you want to call it) of chars per sensor and this is implemented in owfs too, it would allow for experimental devices. And it would serve as a nice example for "beginners" like me on how to use (or abuse ;) your code. > An additional advantage of this approach is alarm handling.

I agree alarm handling is cool. If that could be implemented for a generic value as well would be super cool! :) But I consider this as a "nice to have" not a "must have".
