Sensors that use the 1-Wire interface

This module contains:

• one_wire.ds18x20_sensor.Ds18x20Sensor

one_wire.ds18x20_sensor.Ds18x20Sensor

A polling sensor that reads temperature from a DS18S20 or DS18B20 1-Wire bus sensor connected wired to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins.

Dependencies

This sensor communicates via the 1-Wire interface on your Raspberry Pi. The 1-Wire interface uses GPIO4 by default. This can be changed in the /boot/config.txt, see details here. To work properly it also need the kernel modules w1-gpio and w1-therm.

To enable the 1-Wire interface run (boot partition must be writable):

cd /srv/sensorReporter
sudo ./install_dependencies.sh one_wire

To load the w1-gpio and w1-therm kernel modules, add the following to /etc/modules:

# Load modules for DS18x20 1-Wire temperature sensors
w1-gpio
w1-therm

Reboot the Raspberry Pi.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Restrictions	Purpose
Class	X	one_wire.ds18x20_sensor.Ds18x20Sensor
Connections	X	Dictionary of connectors	Defines where to publish the sensor status for each connection.
Level		DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR	Override the global log level and use another one for this sensor.
Poll	X	Positive number	Refresh interval for the sensor in seconds.
Mac	X		Full 1-Wire device address. To list all 1-Wire devices, run ls /sys/bus/w1/devices. To read a specific one, run cat /sys/bus/w1/devices/<Mac>/w1_slave.
TempUnit		F or C	Temperature unit to use, defaults to C.
Smoothing		Boolean	If True, publishes the average of the last five readings instead of each individual reading.

Outputs

The DS18x20 sensor has only one output, the temperature.
