owserver[335]: DEFAULT: ow_reconnect.c:(69) Failed to reconnect DS2482-100 bus master!

Hello,

My domoticz platform on RaspberryOS (Buster) and 1 wire Pi Plus shows every 10s messages like
Jul 7 22:11:10 domoticz kernel: [ 3025.890005] ds2482_wait_1wire_idle: timeout on channel 0

More, htop shows an abnormal activity on owserver and owfs

I am obliged to use owfs for domoticz.

Any idea of what is the problem ?

Thank you

cat /etc/owfs.conf
device = /dev/i2c-1
mountpoint = /mnt/1wire
allow_other
http: port = 2121
ftp: port = 2120

Other problem : I must reboot to restart owserver service

sudo service owserver restart
Job for owserver.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status owserver.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

First problem solved disabling
sh -c "echo ds2482 0x18 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device "
in /etc/rc.local

But Cpu load is always high on owserver and owfs (about 10% each)

Hello

I am glad you managed to solve your first problem. We do have a tutorial for setting up owfs on the Raspberry Pi. It may be worth reading through the tutorial to make sure your owfs setup is configured correctly.

OWFS does use a lot of CPU resources so if it is being accessed by other software like domoticz you may get a 10% CPU load on the processes.

With regards to restarting owserver, on my Linux server which uses owfs and home assistant I have found that stopping the owserver and owfs processes before starting owfs and then owserver sometimes works. You may have to wait a few seconds between starting the owfs and owserver services to allow owfs to finish loading.

systemctl stop owserver.service
systemctl stop owfs.service
systemctl start owfs.service
systemctl start owserver.service

Sometimes I have found that the only way to get owfs working again is to restart the server.
