    From my experience with the config wizard you do the following pick sensor number give it a name then gpio number i.e GPIO11 if you only have the one sensor setup just type quit then it creates the new file rpibrew.cfg.new config file for you then you can do a "cat rpibrew.cfg.new > rpibrew.cfg"
