That would have been an excellent idea, I thought about it often, but I really don't have a sufficcient understandiing of '1-Wire' technology at this time.

It would have been a very good idea to have a sensor on the 'IN' and 'OUT' of each loop and a sensor on the 'IN' and 'OUT' of the total loop field.

Also it would have been a good idea to have put a vertical string of sensors, say every two feet, on one or more loops.

I actually have a package with four 1-Wire temp sensors in my desk drawer. I'm schemeing to make a 15 to 17 foot plastic pipe with sensors, all filled with plastic to make it water proof, and burying it somewhere in the middle of the loop field.

Do you have a handle on 1-Wire good enough that you could explain it to me?
