27.Dt OW_TEMP 4
28.Os
29.Sh NAME
30.Nm ow_temp
31.Nd Dallas Semiconductor 1-Wire Temperature sensor
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33.Cd device ow_temp
34.Sh DESCRIPTION
35The
36.Nm
37module supports many of the 1-Wire temperature sensors.
38.Pp
39The sensor is read periodically and the results returned via a
40.Xr sysctl 3
41as described below.
42.Sh HARDWARE
43These temperature sensors are supported by the
44.Nm
45driver:
46.Bl -tag -width MAX31820 -compact
47.It DS1820
481-Wire Digital Thermometer
49.It DS18S20
50High-Precision 1-Wire Digital Thermometer
51.It DS18B20
52Programmable Resolution 1-Wire Digital Thermometer
53.It DS1822
54Econo 1-Wire Digital Thermometer
55.It DS1825
56Programmable Resolution 1-Wire Digital Thermometer with 4-bit ID
57.It MAX31820
581-Wire, Parasite-Power, Ambient Temperature Sensor
59.El
60.Pp
61The driver supports Family codes 0x10, 0x22, 0x28, and 0x3b.
62.Sh SYSCTL
63The
64.Nm
65driver reports data via
66.Xr sysctl 8
67entries in the device's node in the
68.Xr sysctl 8
69tree:
70.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxx
71.It temperature
72The last temperature read, in milli-Kelvin.
73.It badcrc
74The number of CRC errors in reading the temperature form the
75device.
76Some CRC errors are to be expected.
77High rates of CRC errors, however, generally indicate a noisy
78environment, cabling issues, or too many devices on the bus.
79.It badread
80The number of times a non-CRC error was encountered reading the temperature
81from the card.
82This type of error is very rare.
83.It reading_interval
84The time, in ticks, between successive reads of the sensor.
85.It parasite
86This item is non-zero when the device is connected using its parasitic
87power mode.
88It can also indicate a wiring error.
89.El
90.Pp
91Temperatures are reported in milli-Kelvin, even though the absolute
92accuracy is around 0.2 degrees for the good devices and around 1
93degree for cheaper devices.
94The devices report in steps of 0.0625 degrees.
95The driver preserves the precision of the device's measurements
96in its
97.Xr sysctl 8
98reports.
99These devices often have a much higher relative accuracy and
100repeatability than their absolute accuracy.
101This makes them well suited for control loops that strive for
102stability and become possible if the full precision is preserved.

112.Sh HISTORY
113The
114.Nm
115driver first appeared in
116.Fx 11.0 .
117.Sh AUTHORS
118The
119.Nm
120device driver and this manual page were written by
121.An Warner Losh .
122.Sh BUGS
123The parasitic mode of the devices does not work.
124It requires support from the
125.Xr owc 4
126driver that is unimplemented.
127.Pp
128The ID bits from the
129.Em DS1825
130are not recognized or reported.
131.Pp
132The type of the device is not reported via
133.Xr sysctl 8 .
134.Pp
135Alarm mode is not supported.
136It is not possible to set the low and high alarm temperatures.
137.Pp
138There is no way to write to the EEPROM.
139.Pp
140.Dq Convert Temperature
141requests are sent directly to the device.
142There is no way to use the broadcast ability of the 1-Wire bus to do
143all the conversions in parallel.
144.Pp
145It is not possible to set the precision on those devices that support
146it.
147.Pp
148The time to convert is fixed at 1 second, even though some devices are
149faster.
150.Pp
151There is no character device to supply a stream of readings to a
152program.
153Programs interested in the temperature must poll the sysctl to get the
154temperature.
