PIN NUMBER	PIN NAME	DESCRIPTION
1	1-wire Data (Dallas Data)	Sends iButton ID
2	GND (-)	Ground.

Device configuration

The reader works as soon as it is connected, but the iButton isn't used anywhere other than displayed in the iButton I/O element. In order to use it for the Immobilizer scenario, the device must have the scenario enabled. Then, iButton check can be enabled to only accept iButtons specified in the iButton list under the 1-Wire tab.
