Conversion from legacy to mqtt

Community Help With My Project
1

Hi guys,

I had just started with cayenne recently and started coding a watering system/hrv micro controller for my house, and now i have to convert it to mqtt - What i am having trouble with is, when i put cayenne.begin into my code, my ds18b20 chain stops reading - without the cayenne.begin everything reads and responds fine. If i run one sensor it seems to work ok as well, but as soon as theres a true one wire bus with more than one sensor it loses the plot.

Will I have to do individual pins for my sensors, or is there something else to fix it? Im not experienced in coding, obviously enough. Most of the bottom of the code is commented out for now as problem solving.

Cheers
Brendon
