I use dallas 1-wire digital thermometers around the house.
These are not wireless, and require a twisted pair
Am I the only person trying to work out how "1-wire" means twisted pair?

The name is erroneous - a marketing gimmick - it means "1 wire for +ve power
and data combined" - you still have a 2nd wire for ground...
There are actually three wires! Ground, data and power. Some 1-wire devices can derive enough power from the data wire to run without the power wire, but not all can. 1-wire refers to a single wire being used for data/signal,
You are confused.
unlike other hardware protocols which require data + clock at least.
There are no end of protocols that embed clock (or other timing
information) and data in the same wire.
