can we send power and data over 2 wires only?
i have a pool where i need to install sensors to measure it's water level. the problem is that i can't add wires to the pool because it would involve breaking up all tiles in order to get extra wires inside the pool. that's not an option.

luckily the pool cover motor has 1 unused wire that i can us…
hi @

yes. this technology sends power and data over just 2 wires.

(despite having the name 1 wire).

just for everyone’s edification- this is [@anidutta](/u/anidutta)’s other post: 
 
we are thinking that the rain sensor was spliced into the common wire, which is why we were only seeing one wire. If you install fiber optic link between to points, it can not be wiretapping without notice. But with satellite is giving some options for that. Maybe you should hide your data by encryption systems between two points.  

good luck! hi [@tino52](/u/tino52)

however, there might be other factors that don’t show easily - e.g. radio noise like other wifi or bluetooth devices, badly filtered appliances, quality of your power supply, external circuitry, …

i agree with this, it could be any of a number of things. you are c… well, transferring your data and transferring that and your settings are different. data, such as music, letters, video, pictures can burn to disk or copy/move to external drive. installed applications won't go, you'll have to reinstall from disk or download. on the other hand, you can transfer settings, favorites etc. use files and settings transfer wizard. or laplink software and cable. hiyou're talking to fellow pp customers on this forum. but we will help if we can.heres a link for you to have a look at:https://community.purepla.net/smart-meters-and-ihds-33/if-i-switch-supplier-will-my-smart-meter-work-10329 hi everyone, just to close this topic, i could get a proper power supply and in fact it was the problem..

thaks everyone for your time and help ! only thing i can think of is to maybe reflash the firmware. those cables will work but you don't really need them as you only have to get to where the speaker wire comes out of the wall. just cut a pair of rca cables in half. there will be a center wire that connects to the positive and the shield, that wraps around the insulated center wire, is the negative. 
the only potential problem is that you may not have enough power to drive the rears loud enough. not aware of any specific reason why it wouldn't work. whether it will hinder performance depends on what you're going to do. that's exactly what it is. the ports you use for hdd's and so on. the pcie lanes are shared between them so if you use the m.2 slot, you lose the ports that share the lanes. 

it's only 2 and you still have 4 more :)

love my aorus pro wifi btw. snazzy board that works well and looks good doing it
