## What it is
DallasTemperature is a robust Arduino library for interfacing with Maxim (Dallas) 1-Wire temperature sensor ICs such as the DS18B20, DS18S20, DS1822, and MAX31820. It supports multiple sensors on a single OneWire bus and integrates with the Arduino IDE Library Manager.

## Use cases
- read temperature from a DS18B20 sensor on Arduino
- connect multiple temperature sensors on one OneWire bus
- monitor temperature with ESP8266 or ESP32
- interface Arduino with Maxim temperature ICs
- build an IoT temperature monitoring project
- read a thermocouple with MAX31850

## When to choose
- you are using Arduino, ESP8266, or ESP32 with Maxim 1-Wire temperature sensors
- you need multi-sensor support on a single OneWire bus
- you want a mature, well-tested library available via Library Manager

## When to avoid
- you use non-Maxim temperature sensors like DHT22 or BME280
- your platform lacks OneWire support
- you need industrial-grade thermocouple amplifiers like the MAX31855
