I believe the new DS18s20 sensors are slower than the old ones, hence
the issues some people had reading them with HomeVisionPro...   HVPro
seems to run faster than HV so a delay had to be put in, so to read
them without intermittent errors...   Mine is now running fine!

Also Steve  FYI i have just got

Worth remembering if I decide to put some in where I don't have
enough Cat5 though!
