About:
DigiTemp is a command-line utility used to read temperature data from 1-Wire devices. It communicates with sensors connected to a USB adapter, such as the DS9097U, to fetch and log environmental data. This tool is essential for Linux-based home automation and monitoring systems.
Key Features:
  • Supports a wide range of 1-Wire temperature sensors (DS18B20, DS18S20, etc.)
  • Supports both USB and serial port interfaces
  • Capable of logging data to CSV files or databases
  • Configurable polling intervals and sensor scanning
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring server room or data center temperatures
  • Home automation climate control integration
  • Weather station data logging
Alternatives:
  • owfs – OWFS provides a file-system interface to 1-Wire devices, whereas DigiTemp is a simpler, standalone command-line utility for direct reading and logging.
