OWFS -- 1-Wire file system. Use the Dallas 1-Wire and iButton chips with standard filesystem commands. Create temperature loggers. Monitor everything. OWHTTPD -- same system, only used as a light weight web server. OWFS is also ported to embedded routers, Mac OSX and Windows.

Basically you can use these inexpensive little sensors and other chips with very simple wiring to sense and control the physical environment. The interface is very flexible -- everything from a web browser, to read and writing directly to the chip's "file" to integrating with your programs -- even over the internet.

There is a growing number of 1-wire sensors: temperature, voltage, humidity, light, ultraviolet, pressure, thermisters, thermocouples, programmable microcontrollers, relays, lights, LCD panels, etc.

    Hello, im looking for detailed information on how to use OWFS-python, with a raspberry pi, im building a project in which i need to send a measurement and convert command to multiple DS18B20's, wait the conversion time, and burst read. all sensors simoultaneously doing conversion to reduce time. i cant seem to find a tutorial, or even a list of functions that are available once the owfs module/library is installed. installation is another thing im unsure about. ideally i can do it through pip? if anybody could point me to some resources so i could learn the basics i would be more than happy.
    thanks!

    We moved the project to GitHub. Please post your wish for assistance there. https://github.com/owfs/owfs/issues

    Thank you, Jan
