I'm assuming that you have a temperature diode (only 2 pins). Unfortunately they require hardware to bias them properly and do analog to digital conversions. The MX series does not have the hardware to use them. If you want a list of hardware that is available for the 1-Wire bus see

We will be sleeing the temp probes in the next day or two, the cost will be $9.99 each and $some price if you buy 3 at a time...

No...the new MX2 has been modified and improved upon both firmware and hardware wise...

so neither the temp nor the leds.... that sucks

is it possible you will mak ones for the old mx 212?

The one wire device is not supported with the old MX222 therefore there is no way we can make it compatible. As for the LED Indicator, the pin-out does not match up.
