ownet¶ ↑

This is a simple client-side implementation of the owserver protocol from the owfs project. It allows you to query any owserver over the network (or locally).

Usage¶ ↑

To test actually using the connection run owserver with fake sensors:

owserver --fake 1F,10

And now list the contents of the root dir:

require 'ownet'
conn = OWNet::Connection.new
conn.dir('/')
#=> ["/1F.67C6697351FF", "/10.4AEC29CDBAAB", "/bus.0", "/uncached" ...

To read a value do:

conn.read('/10.4AEC29CDBAAB/temperature')
#=> 36.4784 (Returns a random value with owserver --fake)

To write a value do:

conn.write('/1F.67C6697351FF/clearevent', 1)
#=> 0
