Ds18b20 issue MQTT

Community Help With My Project
1

Hi community, I need some support on my project MQTT migration.
The project is very simple, 2 relay and 1 ds18b20. Before everythings worked fine. Now I’m not able to manage the ds18b20. I was able to reinstall the 2 relays and they work, but once I try to implement the sketch to manage the sensor it stops to work and I’m not able to manage the project via web or mobile. I attach the sketch just to verify but it’s very simple. The sensor is attached to arduino pin 7.
Arduino UNO and esp8266
I installed of course the MQTT libraries and tryed dozen of sketch combination but I’m not able to go forward
Thanks in advance

    digitalWrite(ACTUATOR_PIN8, LOW);

  else {
    digitalWrite(ACTUATOR_PIN9, LOW);
  }
}


CAYENNE_IN(3)
{
  // Send the command to get temperatures.
//sensors.requestTemperatures();
  // This command writes the temperature in Celsius to the Virtual Channel.
//Cayenne.celsiusWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL, sensors.getTempCByIndex(0));
  // To send the temperature in Fahrenheit use the corresponding code below.
//Cayenne.fahrenheitWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL, sensors.getTempFByIndex(0));
}

change to

CAYENNE_OUT(3)

{

// Send the command to get temperatures.

sensors.requestTemperatures();

// This command writes the temperature in Celsius to the Virtual Channel.

Cayenne.celsiusWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL, sensors.getTempCByIndex(0));

// To send the temperature in Fahrenheit use the corresponding code below.

//Cayenne.fahrenheitWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL, sensors.getTempFByIndex(0));

}

Thanks shramiksalgaonkar is one of the combination I have tryed but once I load the sketch the system is not able to connect to cayenne, it remain offline

esp8266 as shield for uno is not stable and is recomended for mega and i have not tried it with uno. what error your getting in your serial monitor. maybe @jcruz and @bestes can help you out with this

@shramik_salgaonkar may be you are right but before the MQTT migration it worked fine and still now if I comment the 2 sketch linees to read the temperature I’m able to manage the system via web and mobile.

but MQTT for other devices is very stable and i am loving it. it just that it require a bit more time to make it all perfect.

Just for information, I discovered that any instruction written inside void loop() do not permit the connection with cayenne.
To solve I changed arduino UNO in Mega. Now it works as expected.

Thanks anyway for the support
