Addressing

       All 1-wire devices are factory assigned a unique 64-bit address. This address is of the form:

       FamilyCode
              8 bits

       Address
              48 bits

       CRC    8 bits

       Addressing under OWFS is in hexadecimal, of form:

              01.123456789ABC

       where 01 is an example 8-bit family code, and 12345678ABC is an example 48 bit address.

       The dot is optional, and the CRC code can included. If included, it must be correct.

Description

1-Wire1-wire is a wiring protocol and series of devices designed and manufactured by Dallas Semiconductor, Inc.
The bus is a low-power low-speed low-connector scheme where the data line can also provide power.

Each device is uniquely and unalterably numbered during manufacture. There are a wide variety of devices,
including memory, sensors (humidity, temperature, voltage, contact, current), switches, timers and data
loggers. More complex devices (like thermocouple sensors) can be built with these basic devices. There
are also 1-wire devices that have encryption included.

The 1-wire scheme uses a single busmaster and multiple slaves on the same wire. The bus master initiates
all communication. The slaves can be individually discovered and addressed using their unique ID.

Bus masters come in a variety of configurations including serial, parallel, i2c, network or USB adapters.

OWFSdesignOWFS is a suite of programs that designed to make the 1-wire bus and its devices easily accessible. The
underlying principle is to create a virtual filesystem, with the unique ID being the directory, and the
individual properties of the device are represented as simple files that can be read and written.

Details of the individual slave or master design are hidden behind a consistent interface. The goal is to
provide an easy set of tools for a software designer to create monitoring or control applications. There
are some performance enhancements in the implementation, including data caching, parallel access to bus
masters, and aggregation of device communication. Still the fundamental goal has been ease of use,
flexibility and correctness rather than speed.

EE/EF
The EEEF(3) are a reference platform of microprocessor based 1-wire slaves. In general they require
external power, and have an on-board index for the specific capabilities. They are designed by Eric
Vickery at HobbyBoards.com

The EE class device uses family code EE and has an included temperature sensor. The EF devices have no
temperature sensor,

UVI
The UVI sensor is an implementation of the EE class device with Ultra Violet Index sensing. All it's
specific properties are in the UVI/ directory.

Family Code

EE     Device with temperature

       EE     UVI

       EF     Device without temperature

       EF     Moisture Meter

       EF     Hub

Hub

       4-channel hub. Individual branches can be switched on and off.

   hub/branch.0..hub/branch.3hub/branch.ALLhub/branch.BYTEread-write,yes-no
       The HobbyBoards hub has four 1-wire bus lines. Each branch is electricaly isolated from  reflections  and
       shorts, and can be optionally excluded from the 1-wire network.

       You  can turn each branch on or off by writing 0 (off) or 1 (on) to the corresponding property. Note that
       OWFS indexes the branches 0 to 3 while the datasheet uses 1 to 4.

       The easiest way to turn all the branches on is to write 15 (0x0F) to hub/branch.BYTEhub/short.0..hub/short.3hub/short.ALLhub/short.BYTEread-only,yes-no
       Is the corresponding branch in "short" condition? (Electrically shorted out).

Identification Properties

versionread-only,ascii
       Firmware version for the EE/EF device. Reported in nn.nn format where nn is major/minor decimal value.

       Note: This format was changed as of version owfs-2.9p6  at  the  request  of  the  HobbyBoards.  Formerly
       reported in HH.HH format where HH is a hex digit (0-9A-F).

   type_numberread-only,integer
       Index of the type of sensor built into this device. Current known assignments:

       1      UVI (Ultraviolet index)

       2      Moisture meter

       3      Moisture meter with datalogger

       4      Sniffer

       5      Hub

Moisture Meter

moisture/sensor.0..moisture/sensor.3moisture/sensor.ALLread-onlyinteger
       Up  to  4  sensors reading moisture can be attached.  OWFS addresses the sensors as 0 through 3 while the
       datasheet uses 1-4.  Two types of external sensors are supported (and the data range):

       Watermark Soil Moisture Sensor
              0-199

       Leaf Wetness Sensor
              0-99

   moisture/is_moisture.0..moisture/is_moisture.3moisture/is_moisture.ALLmoisture/is_leaf.0..moisture/is_leaf.3moisture/is_leaf.ALLread-writeyes_no
       Set or get the type of sensor attached to each channel. Note that OWFS addresses the sensors as 0 through
       3 while the datasheet uses 1-4.  Two types of external sensors are supported:

       Watermark Soil Moisture
              Sensor

       Leaf Wetness
              Sensor

       Note that is_leaf and is_moisture are complementary and clearing one sets the other.

   moisture/calibrate/minmoisture/calibrate/maxread-writeunsignedinteger
       Set or get the upper and lower range for the raw data for leaf wetness scaling.  See  the  datasheet  for
       details.

   moisture/calibrate/raw.0..moisture/calibrate/raw.3moisture/calibrate/raw.ALLread-onlyunsignedinteger
       Read  the  raw  leaf  wetness  values for setting scaling. See the datasheet for details.  Note that OWFS
       addresses the sensors as 0 through 3 while the datasheet uses 1-4.
