Our wiring spec is based on the 1WRJ45 standard that is posted on www.1wire.org with the only difference being that we changed the voltage allowed on pin 7 because our Barometer requires at least +14v so the +12v in the standard wasn't enough. All of the other pins and voltages are the same. BTW I

Hello! Actually David I believe your right. And as far as I am concerned with wiring this business goes, I appreciate your advice. And will endeavour to comply. Since I do not even have the first node wired, it is a simple matter to create a new run just for the 1Wire setup, and indeed use the 1W

Hi Let me add my two cents once again here about sharing 1-wire and other protocols. The bottom line is don't. While it's possible in some cases to get it to work you increase the chances of problems with your 1-wire network. And the problems you see will be nearly impossible to troubleshoot and

Hello! Just the ticket Paul. The site there contains both a link to the original document, plus one they've worked out on their own. For my part I should have the first node up by the end of this week. As to which temp sensor to use, either a DS1822 or a DS18B20, and both of them in parasitic mode

Hello! First of all, Matt, thank you for bringing that gentleman's website to my attention. Not only is he also a One-Wire technology enthusiast but his website is easy to read and provides considerably more details then the Leviton manuals and website that I normally use for wiring my connections.

You just have to watch running 1-Wire and anything else in the same cable. The 1-Wire protocol can be very touchy, it was originally designed for a 1-Wire slave to be a few inches away from the master not many feet. That being said it can be done but there are so many factors that it is hard to say

Ethernet (10-Base-T and 100-Base-T) uses only 4 of those 8 wires. You can use the others for 1-wire, but it isn't easy. You'll have to break out the extra pairs before they enter any boxes (computer or switch). Crimp tool. I think the real time to do it is if you have a long existing wire run, perh
