Hello, I've been reading the forum to try to figure
out how to set up a 1-wire system. I am finding
conflicting and incomplete information on how this is
done. I found two different pdf tutorials that use a
program called LOGTEMP and then import the 1-wire data
from that into PH. Then I found other posts that seem
to suggest that LOGTEMP is not needed? Can someone
give a an overview on how to set up PH to interface
with a 1-wire network. That would be greatly
appreciated. Nothing in the documentation or help file
that I could find.

After a bunch of trial and error and retrial and error
I think I have figured it out.

Art,
Sorry to take so long responding but currently in South Korea with limited internet access at times.
The newest beta's of PowerHome (2.1.5c) include 1-wire support built in so no longer need the LOGTEMP program or importing data. 1-wire devices are added in the Analog I/O table.
Sounds like you might have it figured out but you can also check the sample database to see how some 1-wire devices are configured. If you need additional help, just let me know.
Dave.

Thanks. Where do I find the sample database?

art,
To view the sample database(s), open the PowerHome
Explorer and then press the F7 key (you can also go to
menu Edit->Database or use the toolbar). In the dialog
that opens, navigate to c:\powerhome\database and
you'll see your default database (pwrhome.db) as well
as a couple of samples (phsample_dwh.db and
phsample_keb.db). Select the one you want and you'll
be able to browse the macro's, triggers, devices, etc.
of that database.
Dave.

Dave, is there a list of power-home supported 1-wire devices someplace? I have temp sensors but was looking at adding humidity for outdoors. I went to hobby boards site and saw the HT4-R1-A Temp/Humidity sensor. Looking at your sample DB I see you have temp/humidity with the same address, so I'm assuming this is the board you use. However there is a warning now saying it is "a new design and is not compatible with our previous Humidity/Temp".
http://www.hobby-boards.com/store/products.php?product=Humid ity{47}Temp
Any thoughts? Thanks as always.

Lenny,
You are correct that I am using (an older) Hobby-boards temp/humidity sensor. I went to their site and looked at the documentation that they have for their temp/humidity sensor. At this time, it would not be supported by PowerHome as it uses a custom family code that we havent implemented. I'll look into adding it when I return back to the states.
As far as currently supported devices, I'll post a list of family codes shortly. It'll take me a little bit to look it up since I don't have access to my development machine.
Dave.

Lenny,
The PowerHome 1-wire controller currently supports the
following three (hex) family classes:
10 - (Temperature - DS18S20 type devices)
26 - (Temp/Humidity/Barometer/Light - DS2438 type
devices)
28 - (Temperature - DS18B20 type devices)
I can add more upon request. I just don't have sample
devices to test with though so would have to add the
code based upon specs.
Hope this helps and sorry it took so long.
Dave.
