Re: SONOFF S20 : Disable the blue and circle green lights

The green LED is physically connected together with the relay to GPIO12. So remove the LED or put something black over it.

Re: DS18B20 setup to ignore Extreme data

Having had a huge 1-wire network, I learned the hard way, that 1-wire is not designed for long cable-runs, thus one should use twisted-pair cables, minimize number of connectors and avoid running 1w cables in parallel with mains cables.
