A Serial 1-Wire Interface

Order Now

This project builds on the success of it's predecessor, TEMP05.  TEMP08 retains many of the previous features of the TEMP05, and adds some extras.

Features of the TEMP08 include;

  • Standard RS232 serial interface between the Dallas/Maxim 1-Wire bus and a host PC

  • Provides real-time relief for the host PC by removing the burden of providing the precision timing required by the 1-Wire bus

  • Support for the following 1-Wire environmental sensors;

    • DS18S20, DS18S20-PAR, DS1822, DS18B20 and DS1920 temperature sensors

    • DS2438 based Humidity Sensors

    • DS2423 based Lightning counters and General Purpose counters such as Hobby Boards Dual Counter

    • DS2423 based Rain Gauges

    • DS2450 Voltage Sensors

    • AAG 1-Weather Station (OWWS) for wind speed, wind direction and outdoor temperature

    • Bray/Jennings DS2438 based Barometer

    • Dallas/Maxim iButtons (for security applications)

    • Midon 1-Wire 4 Relay Output (1WIO) or Hobby Boards 8 Relay Output

    • Midon 1-Wire Humidity Sensor MD3020E and Hobby Boards 1-Wire Humidity Sensor

    • Midon 1-Wire LED Displays (1WIO)

  • Easy option programming (Set and Forget) - NO option jumpers required.

  • Capability to interface up to 60 different sensors

  • On-board DS2438 temperature sensor (Not available with MD2104S version)

  • Easily integrates into HomeSeer software -  see this page.

  • Supported by thermd Thermometer Daemon freeware for Windows, Linux, Unix and Mac, which provides graphing and other capabilities.

For a 1-Wire interface to input/output sensors, DS2405, DS2406 or DS2407, please see our companion 1WSwitch product.

New Features

  • Optional on-board humidity sensor

  • On-board analog voltage input via DS2438 (Not available with MD2104S version)

  • Connectivity to 1-Wire bus via either terminal strip or RJ-12 connector

  • Discrete commands for setting all parameters

  • Real Time Clock for displaying time of day with results of sensor polls

  • PCB Size fits into an optional PacTec CM5-125 case

Connector Definitions

  • J1 Power Input connection.  12 to 16 Volts AC or DC required.  DC input is polarity compensated - no need to worry about a mis-wire.

  • J2 USB powering connection - if used instead of J1, 12 volt will not be available on J3.

  • J3 1-Wire and external interface.  Analog In, +12V, +5V, GND and DQ provided.

  • J4 Serial Interface connector.  Standard DB-9 female connection.

  • J5 RJ-12 interface for 1-Wire bus.  +12V, +5V, GND and DQ provided.
