Plug external sensors of the 1-Wire standard into the connectors at the front panel of a device:

NetPing 4PWR-220 v3SMS connected 1-wire

It is possible to plug up to 8 temperature sensors and 1 humidity sensor into 4 1-Wire connectors of the device.

For example, the following picture shows connecting 3 temperature sensors and 1 humidity sensor:

NetPing 4PWR-220 v3SMS connected 1-wire

All 1-Wire sensors are electrically connected in parallel and allow building a branched tree structure using splitters.

Use the next splitters and extenders to plug more than four sensors:

Maximum cable length 1-Wire network is limited to 50 meters.

For example, the next picture shows 3 temperature sensors plugged into one port:
