25.Dt OW_TEMP 4
26.Os
27.Sh NAME
28.Nm ow_temp
29.Nd Dallas Semiconductor 1-Wire Temperature sensor
30.Sh SYNOPSIS
31.Cd device ow_temp
32.Sh DESCRIPTION
33The
34.Nm
35module supports many of the 1-Wire temperature sensors.
36.Pp
37The sensor is read periodically and the results returned via a
38.Xr sysctl 3
39as described below.
40.Sh HARDWARE
41These temperature sensors are supported by the
42.Nm
43driver:
44.Bl -tag -width MAX31820 -compact
45.It DS1820
461-Wire Digital Thermometer
47.It DS18S20
48High-Precision 1-Wire Digital Thermometer
49.It DS18B20
50Programmable Resolution 1-Wire Digital Thermometer
51.It DS1822
52Econo 1-Wire Digital Thermometer
53.It DS1825
54Programmable Resolution 1-Wire Digital Thermometer with 4-bit ID
55.It MAX31820
561-Wire, Parasite-Power, Ambient Temperature Sensor
57.El
58.Pp
59The driver supports Family codes 0x10, 0x22, 0x28, and 0x3b.
60.Sh SYSCTL
61The
62.Nm
63driver reports data via
64.Xr sysctl 8
65entries in the device's node in the
66.Xr sysctl 8
67tree:
68.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxx
69.It temperature
70The last temperature read, in milli-Kelvin.
71.It badcrc
72The number of CRC errors in reading the temperature form the
73device.
74Some CRC errors are to be expected.
75High rates of CRC errors, however, generally indicate a noisy
76environment, cabling issues, or too many devices on the bus.
77.It badread
78The number of times a non-CRC error was encountered reading the temperature
79from the card.
80This type of error is very rare.
81.It reading_interval
82The time, in ticks, between successive reads of the sensor.
83.It parasite
84This item is non-zero when the device is connected using its parasitic
85power mode.
86It can also indicate a wiring error.
87.El
88.Pp
89Temperatures are reported in milli-Kelvin, even though the absolute
90accuracy is around 0.2 degrees for the good devices and around 1
91degree for cheaper devices.
92The devices report in steps of 0.0625 degrees.
93The driver preserves the precision of the device's measurements
94in its
95.Xr sysctl 8
96reports.
97These devices often have a much higher relative accuracy and
98repeatability than their absolute accuracy.
99This makes them well suited for control loops that strive for
100stability and become possible if the full precision is preserved.

110.Sh HISTORY
111The
112.Nm
113driver first appeared in
114.Fx 11.0 .
115.Sh AUTHORS
116The
117.Nm
118device driver and this manual page were written by
119.An Warner Losh .
120.Sh BUGS
121The parasitic mode of the devices does not work.
122It requires support from the
123.Xr owc 4
124driver that is unimplemented.
125.Pp
126The ID bits from the
127.Em DS1825
128are not recognized or reported.
129.Pp
130The type of the device is not reported via
131.Xr sysctl 8 .
132.Pp
133Alarm mode is not supported.
134It is not possible to set the low and high alarm temperatures.
135.Pp
136There is no way to write to the EEPROM.
137.Pp
138.Dq Convert Temperature
139requests are sent directly to the device.
140There is no way to use the broadcast ability of the 1-Wire bus to do
141all the conversions in parallel.
142.Pp
143It is not possible to set the precision on those devices that support
144it.
145.Pp
146The time to convert is fixed at 1 second, even though some devices are
147faster.
148.Pp
149There is no character device to supply a stream of readings to a
150program.
151Programs interested in the temperature must poll the sysctl to get the
152temperature.
