Paul and Eloy, I don't have an opinion whether the external devices should be added to the main list in the long run, but given the potential cost of doing an directory listing, this may be a wise precaution. Having an /external directory for these may be the right way to go until we learn more

very very nice!!! maybe we could use json or another language to send and receive informations? maybe a txt or csv or xml(i don´t like xml... txt and csv can run in any bash program, json is more usable in php,perl,python scripts) do you have any idea about the implemention? Em 29 de fevereiro d

Ok, these are the design notes so far: http://owfs.org/index.php?page=external-sensor-design I'm only so-so happy with the "external" name for the program (owexternal) and directory (/external). All the configuration files are a bit of a nuisance, but we really have two things: Family types (defi

Interesting idea. I've been tempted to build a special owserver that has plug-in sensor code -- owexternal. The plug-in would get a separate mane space (perhaps /external/sensor43/humidity) and have to report a few properties like length, type, read/write and volatility. Plugins could be written

Hi all, beside using 1-Wire devices I would like to use other sensors as well. Currently I play with an temp-sensor getting data very simple by a serial port. So writing all this polling, retry, alias, fuse (and a lot of other functionality) again is a lot of effort - so maybe there is a way to e
