Identifying DS18B20 sensors


Pflug

Question

Hi.

 

All DS18B20 all have unique IDs.

Is there a way to see/read out that ID somewhere?

 

...or is there another way to identify which sensor is which??

"without touching or heating/cooling a specific sensor and monitoring the temperature?"

I  can not physically get to the sensors which are embedded in the floor!

 

Any suggestions are welcome

Thanks

Jurgen

    It is NOT possible to identify the sensors,

    "without touching or heating/cooling a specific sensor and monitoring the temperature"

    Hi Jürgen,
    I spoke with UBS’s constructor, unfortunately there is no other way to identify specific Dallas temperature sensor than holding it in hands for a couple of seconds and recognize temperature changes.
    I’m sorry I don’t have better news.

    Hi Jürgen,
    You are right, the problem is, that producer doesn’t mark the IDs. The procedure for UBS is:

    - UBS is scanning for IDs,
    - UBS is saving IDs (it is happening randomly),
    - UBS is reading it from the endpoint.

    As you can see, the whole identification takes place after adding UBS with Dallas to the system.

    I’m sorry I don’t have better news.
