Hi

I've just found your question. I've got about 30 temp sensors and some switches set up on a 1 wire network. I'm planning to control my complex heating system through it using Mango.

Getting it to be reliable is a right pain. Its very sensitive length and hoe the sensors are added. This article is very helpful

If you want to do some testing to check the system is working either use the dallas software or LOGTEMP by mr soft both free

Here's my public view page http://www.bacwak.net:8080/public_view.htm?viewId=8

Which is a bit scrrewed at the moment as i have been playing with dials and buttons on it

Cheers

Keith,

What switches are you using and how do you have them connected? Powered, parasite, pullup resistors, etc? The reason I ask is that I have switch module D2P from EDS (DS2406 based). Mango sees the switch (but only one, it should see A and B since it is a double I/O) but it does not sense the switch staus (binary change). I am using this on serial input and parasite mode. Interestingly enough I have the same exact problem with LogTemp. However, Dallas/Maxim viewer sees status changes perfectly.

Anybody else, feel free to chime in.

BTW, love the Mango software so far.

Has anyone integrated one into mango currently, what was the ease of configuration?...just trying to determine if this will fit my needs or Ha7net

Seems to be that I am wondering the same 1/2y after you.

My main consirn has been 1-wire PC-load, so TEMP08 would be logical pick for my needs (local 1-wire network next to old PC with XP, around 5 pcs dual general purpose counters, around 20 pcs temp measurements).

Which one you ended up? Any ready_made_tricks to share?

Picked one up for 79$ on ebay, unit functions perfectly at 1% accuracy monitoring a 240v panel...setup was fairly straght forward..monitors energy, current, and voltage...next step temperature monitoring

Just a little thought on your product, great work! I set up a third party modbus device in under an hour, a feat unto itself as I have used many software packages that are much more difficult to setup quantities than this one. keep up the good work

The same thought for me.

The subject says it all, anyone using one of these controllers for 1-wire devices? Just curious if setup is straight forward
