Fastest OneWire (ds18b20) update rate on Raspberry Pi

A bit OT but I just have to say, I really like 1-wire. So reliable, so stable, set & forget...just works, been running since years now
In my home automation I use this little thing since years, see below. It sits high up on our chimney and measures the ambient light. I use various averaged readings in my algorithms in NR to control

  • awnings & shutters
  • calculating +/- offsets relative sunset/sunrise for indoor lighting, all our facade and outdoor lighting around the house

I know, I could also have used a z-wave motion sensor with built-in light sensor, but hey, who want's to climb the roof just to change batteries now and then?
