Temperature Sensor (Node)

OneWire temperature probes for extreme conditions like underwater monitoring on Arduino nodes.

Overview

There is already a great way to get temperature readings using the DHT sensor which is supported via the Humidity sensor type. However, you may want to use temperature probes for more extreme conditions like underwater. These sensors use the OneWire bus and you need to enable support for it on the Pi.

The OneWire bus will return an object of all items on the bus keyed by their address containing their data.

Warning

At this point support is buggy for this sensor type when running alongside other sensors on the OneWire bus. Use with caution.
