Adventures in #esphome : It seems 6 x DS18B20s on a single pin makes the ESP8266 prone to hanging.
Is it power related? A pin should source 12mA yet 6 sensors only come to 9mA, but maybe the specs have a bit of tolerance around them.
With my sensor string split into 2 x 3 sensors and two Dallas networks defined in ESPHome things seem to be more stable.
