Re: [Owfs-developers] 1-wire network problems

2014-01-27 Thread Todd Turner
fwiw I ran into a similar problem. I am using cat5e cables throughout the house with a sensor in each room. Each cat5e drop is terminated at a panel, and the 1wire signal is looped up to each sensor on the blue wire and back on the orange, and then up to the next sensor etc. I found that when

[Owfs-developers] Relative Humidity Sensors

Hi All, What are people using for low cost relative humidity sensors? I have found some on dx.com ( http://dx.com/p/arduino-digital-temperature-humidity-sensor-module-121350 ) but I think these are a different protocol then what OWFS is using. Thanks, Todd -

I have not detected any failures on the rpi. I'm using a homemade serial adapter and using a node.js module that interfaces directly to owserver, maybe owfs has some issues. On Saturday, February 2, 2013, Paul Smith wrote: > Hi Mike, > > Python is new to me, can you send over some code and I ca

[Owfs-developers] Using cat5e in house - star topology?

2012-11-04 Thread Todd Turner
Anyone have experience with just using a star network? Am I likely to have issues with 5 or so legs up to 10m long? It would make things a lot easier to do it this way then having a twisted pair bring the 1wire back and feed it into the next sensor leg. Thanks Sent from my iPhone -

[Owfs-developers] raspberry pi and owfs on the serial port

Hi All, Has anyone successfully used the serial port on the raspberry pi for owfs? I have found reports of success with the i2c port and also with the USB adapter, but nothing about using the standard serial port. I currently have my 5 V network connected to the serial port on my wrt54gl via a

Hi All, I've got my OpenWRT and owfs set up working, thanks for the advice. What are people doing for outside temp sensors? I can't seem to figure out a way to keep it out of the rain, but not trap heat (using an upside down plastic container right now, right up against the house). Thanks!

Hi All, I'm starting on my home automation project. My system design is to have a wrt54gl wifi router as the owfs server and hook the 1 wire interface circuit directly to the serial port on the wrt54gl. I've modified the wrt54gl so that I have an SD card, so I have lots of flash space. I've in
