[vz-dev] temperature sensor - continued (where does the id come from?)

[Justin Otherguy]

Hi,

we've been discussing the question "where would the temp. sensor get its uuid from?" recently.
If I understood that correctly, the 1-wire sensors already have unique identifiers with a length of 64 bit; why don't we use that id as part of the uuid for the sensor? We could, e.g., add a menu entry in ethersex that allows to set the remaining 16 bytes that would serve as a board-specific prefix to that id.
So, there would only be one "uuid prefix" have to be set for every controller. The remaining bits would be those of the sensor.
