Can the 5500AC2 USB-A Port connect a USB to Dallas 1-Wire adaptor?

Hi Guys,

I've had a Raspberry Pi with two USB to Dallas 1-Wire adaptors, running the OWFS software to access about 20 or so 1-Wire temperature sensors. I have a Python script that reads groups of sensors and controls three solenoid valve and pump zones, to control underfloor heating in my house.

That has worked well for many years, but we are planning to sell the house, and I need to replace this DIY solution with something more commercial...

I now have a 5500AC2 controller and wonder if there is any possibility that my USB Dallas 1-Wire adapter could be connected to the USB-A port on the AC2 and appear as another Serial device in the Lua script world, allowing me to open the port and implement the 1-wire serial protocol in Lua to read/write 1-wire sensors.

If this isn't possible, is there any way to access the Linux OS on the AC2 and add logic written in C or another scripting language, while somehow exposing it to Lua script?

After an evening of Googling, I found these 1-wire to Ethernet gateways which look to be exactly what I need, so I have ordered one, which changes the problem to talking XML over a TCP or HTTP socket connection which will be a lot simpler than what I was thinking of previously...
