You bet. Glad to know that there's another using the plugin. I think this is one is less widely used than some of my others--but it's also one that I use--so it will live on!
In fact, there is an OWServer 2.0 (or something like that) in the workshop now which takes a new tack at the different supported devices. Take, for example, an EDS0068 with optional relay. The current plugin tries to incorporate all the features of that model in one Indigo device. Under the new paradigm, each feature will be its own device type. So for one EDS0068, you would have one Indigo device for temperature, a second for humidity, etc. I think the killer feature, though, is that it will handle the relay as an Indigo switch type. You'll be able to turn it on and off just like a light switch. Same with the LED.. This will allow for better use of native Indigo hooks and logic. For example, if a humidity level goes above a certain threshold, fire the relay to turn on a fan. At least that's the plan, anyway.

It will (of course) still support the DS18B20. I agree that these are a crazy good value. After you drop US$100 on a server, you can add sensors for $2.00 each (or less), plus the cost of wire and a little elbow grease. At 10 sensors, that's a marginal cost of $12 each. At 20 sensors, the marginal cost is $7 each. (IIRC, the max number of sensors is 24 which would be about $6.20 each.) They're cheap, fast, and don't require batteries!
I also have plans for the next major version to include support for the new EDS Meshnet controller and Meshnet devices, too. I'm trying to squeeze development into the bits of free time I have when I'm not working on one of my other plugins.
