Multiple onewire sensors problem



  • Hi
    I have a problem with a nano board with multiple onewire sensors on it, using Home Assistant. Only one sensor is picked up in Home assistant. I think it is to do with the presentation part of the sketch, and have tried a few different things, but no luck. Could someone help me out please with the mods required.

    Here is my code

    /**
     * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
     * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
     * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
     * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
     * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

    Also log of node startup could be helpful



  • Well I don't get this. Today both temp sensors are showing. Yesterday only one showed all day. Anyone any ideas why it would take so long for the second sensor to be detected.

    Wiring problem? 😀😅



  • 1-wire doesnt do well with star wiring, linear is better, choosing the right pull up resistor is important, (4.7k is common, but not always the best), parasitic power? If so longer conversion time. Search "reliable 1-wire", there are some good wiring guides out there. It looks like you have 5000 millis fornconversion, should be long enough. Maybe too long? I dont know how 1-wire handles holding on to the reading, maybe combined with parasitic power they are shitting down before you get the reading. In parasite mode you have to cycle them enough to keep them powered up.
