Okay I've got a believed-to-be-good i2c onewire device (sheepwalk
electronics' RPI3v2) with some temp sensors on the bus, and the old methods
of reading what it's collecting isn't working. I used to be able to
hit a port with my browser and it would enumerate the sensor tree. How can
I read the various sensors I have on it now, so I can get their addresses
and put them in the [OWFS] section?
