Contact: how to report a correction or suggest a resource

The editorial address for this site is [email protected]. It exists for two things only: corrections to facts on the pages, and suggestions of useful 1-Wire or home automation resources. This page explains what to send, what the address cannot help with, and what happens after a message arrives.

The editorial address

Messages go to [email protected]. It is the address for corrections to the text on these pages. It is not a shop, a helpdesk or a forum. Messages can be short and in plain English; no special format is needed beyond the details listed in the steps below.

Two kinds of message are useful. The first is a correction: a firmware command described wrongly, a pinout that does not match the board, a sensor listed as supported when it was not, or a date that is off. The second is a suggestion: a maintained resource about 1-Wire devices or home automation that would help readers and belongs on the useful links page.

What this address cannot help with

Midon Design stopped selling at the end of 2023, and every kit described here is discontinued. The editorial team has no stock, no spare boards, no programmed microcontrollers and no firmware files to send. Please do not write to this address about:

ordering kits, sensors, cases or parts, or the status of an old order;
repairs, returns or replacement of a TEMP08, LOG08-II, 1WSwitch or any other board;
technical support for a specific installation, such as a network that stopped reading or a HomeSeer plug-in that no longer connects;
copies of manuals, source code or software beyond what is already described on the pages.

Most questions about old kits are already answered on the kit pages, which describe commands, connectors and configuration in detail. For troubleshooting, the pages themselves are the best starting point. The TEMP08 FAQ collects the questions owners asked most often, and the wiring guide covers the cabling problems behind most unreliable networks.

How to send a useful correction

Name the page. Include the address of the page, for example /TEMP08/P04Instructions.html, so the right text can be found quickly.
Quote the sentence. Copy the exact words that are wrong, or describe the table row or list item in question.
Say what is correct. State the correct fact in one or two sentences, with the firmware version or board revision if it matters.
Give a source. A manufacturer datasheet, a page from the kit manual or a photograph of your own board carries far more weight than memory alone.

Short messages are easiest to act on. One correction per message also helps, since each is checked separately.

What happens after you write

A page changes only when a correction can be confirmed against the available sources. A claim that cannot be confirmed leaves the page as it is, or the uncertain detail comes out until it can be confirmed.

Messages are not answered individually, and there is no response time. The answer to a correction is the corrected page. The links page lists only resources that meet one test: maintained, reachable, and published by a manufacturer, an established project or the software's vendor.

Suggesting a resource

A resource suggestion is most useful when it explains what the site offers that the existing links do not. Good candidates include official documentation for a 1-Wire device family, a maintained open-source tool that reads 1-Wire sensors, or the documentation of a home automation platform with 1-Wire support. Personal project pages, shops and pages that mainly sell hardware are not added, however helpful they may be, because they tend to change or disappear without notice.

Messages that cannot be used

Some messages cannot be acted on at all: reports without a page address, claims without any source, requests for help with a specific board, and advertising.

How messages are handled and how long they are kept is described in the privacy notice. In short, an email is used only for the correction it reports.

Questions and answers

Does the editorial address reply to messages?

No. Messages to the editorial address are not answered individually, and there is no response time. When a correction is confirmed, the page is updated, so the corrected page is the answer. The links page lists only resources that meet its listing criteria.

Can a TEMP08 or spare parts be ordered through this address?

No. Midon Design stopped selling at the end of 2023, and every kit on this site is discontinued. The editorial team has no stock, boards, programmed chips or firmware to offer, and it cannot pass orders to anyone. For new installations, current 1-Wire adapters and software such as OWFS are the usual route.

Can the editorial team help fix a 1-Wire network?

The address does not provide technical support for individual installations. The pages are written to help with exactly that, though. The TEMP08 FAQ, instructions and software pages cover the common questions, and the network wiring guide explains the cable, topology and connector issues behind most unreliable 1-Wire networks.

What makes a correction easy to check?

Name the page address, quote the wrong sentence, state the correct fact with any firmware version or board revision that matters, and give a source such as a datasheet or a page from the kit manual. One correction per message helps, because each is checked separately against the sources before the page changes.
