I recently migrated my install from a Raspberry pi over to an old USFF PC. While this is working fine I wasn’t happy to lose the history of my 1wire sensors or figure out how to migrate their state.
Fortunately owfs also works with other USB hardware but commercially devices like the DS9097U are pricey compared to an Arduino nano clone.
I’ve managed to build this DS2408B emulator that works with owfs which has allowed me to drop my install in in one go.
I’m sharing here in case it’s useful to anyone. While it’s working fine as tested my 1wire “network” is only a couple of DS18B20s so it may have some issues with larger nets.
