Hi,
Please review and critique my plans noted below. While reviewing and critiquing please keep in mind that this will be my personal greenhouse, however the end goal is to implement the same 1 wire technologies into multiple greenhouses in the next 10 - 15 years. Is 1-wire going away in the near future... it almost seems like it is at its end of life... if so what is a suitable replacement technology?
My current plan is to build a detached passive solar greenhouse and utilize 1 wire technology to monitor and control certain aspects of the greenhouse.
1-Wire devices to be used:
A couple of questions I would like addressed.
3. The 8 Channel Relay does not have high enough amperage to drive the blower motor for my SCHS. I plan on driving a larger relay with the output from the 8 Channel relay. Does this make sense to people with electrical knowledge?
Thanks for reading!

My current plan is to build a detached passive solar greenhouse and utilize 1 wire technology to monitor and control certain aspects of the greenhouse.
1-Wire devices to be used:
- Soil moisture meters
- Humidity Sensors
- Temp Sensors
- Solar sensors
- 8 Channel I/O Relay (To control: SCHS, subterranean cooling and heating system) you can read more about schs by googling "subterranean heating and cooling system"., shade cloths, watering system)
A couple of questions I would like addressed.
- Is 1-wire technology going away? Will I have a hard time finding the above mentioned devices?
- The greenhouse will be about 75 ft from the house this leaves me with a few options for the location of the DS80C400
A. Run a 1-wire cable to the greenhouse and have a booster with the DS80C400 inside my home, not sure if boosters exist for 1-wire and I am thinking I am asking for trouble connecting devices that far away.
B. Run a ethernet cable and power to the greenhouse and have the DS80C400 installed inside of the greenhouse.
3. The 8 Channel Relay does not have high enough amperage to drive the blower motor for my SCHS. I plan on driving a larger relay with the output from the 8 Channel relay. Does this make sense to people with electrical knowledge?
