Research direction

Start by reviewing the closed feature request linked in the issue and the DS2413 use case described here. Determine how support should extend beyond temperature sensors and what a universal 1-Wire integration must expose. Done means DS2413 addressable-switch functionality works and the approach leaves room for the other device types named in the request.
