1-wire to MQTT bridge

This flow is an example of using the owfs node type which can be found here: https://www.npmjs.org/package/node-red-contrib-owfs

This simple flows reads a 1-wire temperature sensor using owfs and publishes the reading to MQTT as a retained message.

In this flow, the inject node is used to specify the name of the 1-wire device to be read from, this triggers every 10 seconds. When the owfs node receives this message, it makes a query to owserver, running on the same machine. It takes a temperature reading and outputs the temperature value in msg.payload.

The change node is used to set msg.retain to true - this causes MQTT to keep a copy of the latest temperature reading, so when a new client subscribes, it immediately gets a value.
