Upcoming OWServer Plugin Update
Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2015 12:59 pm
It's almost time to make available the next version of the OWServer plugin which looks to include the following enhancements:
1. Adds support for EDS0081 (Octal Current Input) - still ironing this one out, as I don't have a good XML base to work from. If any users of the plugin have this sensor type on their network, please forward the appropriate snippet of the details.xml file. Also looking for good XML for the following sensor types:
2. Adds support to automatically detect all OW-SERVER-ENET servers on the local network. This bit of kit will automatically detect all servers running on the local network and pre-populate the plugin with the relevant IP addresses of the servers themselves. If any users of the plugin that have more than one server on their network are willing to be alpha testers, please contact me via PM.
3. Adds initial support to write select data back to the 1-Wire network. This is a work in progress, but with the ultimate goal of being able to directly control select 1-Wire devices and write data back to sensors where that would be useful (i.e., Low and High Alarm States, Conditional Search States, Relay states and so on.) I am also looking for a few alpha testers for this functionality as well. If you would be willing, please contact me via PM.
For the second and third requests, the amount of work involved would be very minimal. I would send you small segments of code to run against your 1-Wire network, and request a short summary in return. You would not be required to install preproduction versions of the plugin. If you would be willing to help out, it would be most appreciated.

If any users of the plugin have this sensor type on their network, please forward the appropriate snippet of the details.xml file. Also looking for good XML for the following sensor types:
- EDS0064 - Temperature Sensor with Relay
EDS0065 - Temperature and Humidity Sensor with Relay
EDS0066 - Temperature and Barometric Sensor with Relay
EDS0070 - Vibration Sensor with Relay
EDS0071 - RTD Reader, 4 Wire with Relay
EDS0080 - Octal 4-20 milliamp input with Relay
EDS0083 - Quad 4-20 milliamp input with Relay
EDS0085 - Quad 0-10 volt input with Relay
EDS0090 - Octal discrete input/output with Relay
