Water Pipe Temperature Sensor

I monitor the temperatures of my Heat Pump Freon Lines using DS18B20 temperature sensors like the following. I also monitor the Heat Exchanger Inlet and Outlet Air Temperatures. So, 4 DS18B20 sensors in all.

I have these tied into one of my NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontrollers running my ST_Anything Arduino software. I actually use just 1 digital pin for all four sensors, and each sensor is then created in ST as an independent child device. This allows each one to be used in any automation, like any other temperature sensor.
