finding the address of relays

[mtmtntop]

i have had a 1 wire network up and running for several years gathering data for my solar array and related parts.  i also have a hobby boards 8 channel i/o board in the network.  i never got around to using this yet, and use it only to supply power to the network. 
 
yesterday i was looking at some posts about logtemp and saw some code that referred to an address for a specific relay on the i/o board.  i am not a programmer type person, but can usually grunt through some code if i am forced, calling on help from friends who do this stuff.  can you tell me how a person figures out the address of each input and output relay on the board?  I want to use alarms on logtemp to turn relays off and on. thanks

Try using the "one wire viewer".  It should find the ROM code of the DS2408 chip that controls the relays.  Others have asked about this in the past and its seems that Logtemp does not support the DS2408.  Don't know if that's changed.

thanks.  that gave me the address to the board itself.  any ideas of how you find each individual relay?  and you were correct, logtemp does not yet support ds2408.  i went back to the logtemp screen print  i had seen and it was for an alarm triggering a ds2405.  i am still looking for options, but it seems other software like mr house, digitemp, etc don't see the 2408 either.  any suggestions are most welcome.

From what I gather, the DS2408 controls both the outputs (relays) and inputs based on the data you send to it.  Maybe Eric can expand on that.  I don't have one and there's no examples in the user manual.

i downloaded the ds2408 data sheet and the commands for each input and output are on that sheet.

for once, i seem to have found the answer myself.  thanks for the help, it set me off in the right direction.  eric, is there any software out there that is recognizing the 2408 chip?  thanks
