Is it possible to put te controller in the middle of the wire or must it be at one end of the wire?
Let me explain this.
I have to position the controller near a 220V junctionbox. From there i need to run a wire of about 5 meter in one direction and 4 meter into the opposite direction.

Hi Bram,

Yes this is possible, make sure the data and gnd are correctly positioned. then it should not matter on what location the controller is.
here i had the same situation, but the controller is the middle works perfect, at least for the DS18Sxx temp sensors
