That's odd it was there, but it really does seem to have gone missing from the repos, and there's no record of it (or one I can find). I've had a look in the local cache but it's not in there either.
Looks like it's time to switch to using owfs.py with ow-server and pyownet. That combination works here with a tweaked driver, but try it with the ported original at https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-owfs (mine needs a little tidying :) You may have to install pyownet via pip / pip3 08:51 AM $ pip3 show pyownet Name: pyownet Version: 0.10.0.post1 Summary: Python OWFS client library (owserver protocol) Home-page: https://github.com/miccoli/pyownet Author: Stefano Miccoli Author-email: stefano.micc...@polimi.it License: LGPLv3 Location: /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages If you're unfamiliar with the installation of owserver have a look in this groups history for various mentions of it. If there are still questions we'll follow up in the morning (mine?) Basically, it's a case of pointing owserver (/etc/owfs.conf) at your 1-wire interface (usb=ALL /dev/ttyS? /dev/i2c-1...), and point owfs.py to talk to owserver (localhost:4304) ============= 07:36 AM $ apt install python3-ow Reading package lists...
