Hi Phil,
you could use my patch - see
http://mailman.verplant.org/pipermail/collectd/2011-November/004810.html
This would solve your problem with device family 28 (had the same problem).
For the other device with 7E you can use the other option which offers
the patch - to use direct accss by specifying the whole OWFS path
(also documented in the patch).
Or just use it as an inspiration :-)
Best regards,
Tomas

Hello all,
Long ago, I looked at collectd and 1-wire monitoring, and never
progressed because I had problems with owfs, and because of the
plugin's 'experimental' status (though I do use collectd for other
monitoring).
I revisited the issue the other day, and still can't get things to
work (though for different reasons).
I have DS18B20 as my temperature sensors, rather than the DS18S20 that
the plugin appears to recognise. These report themselves as a device
with the prefix '28', rather than 10 - therefore collectd does not
record data from these sensors.
Now, I'd rather like to have a play with the plugin, and attempt to
get this working. Rather than just submit a request, I'd rather like
to get my hands dirty, and fix it myself. Just because I have never
done any coding in C really shouldn't stop me, should it?! Another
reason being that I also have a device prefix '7E', which is somewhat
different, and I'd also like to see this one recognised.
Therefore, can someone offer some 'beginners tips' as to how I'm going
to start on the '28' issue - advice info? Which files, and what I
need to do in order not to break anything?
Many thanks,
Phil
