I personally don’t like running sensors.requestTemperatures in a CAYENNE_OUT call. No big deal when it’s quick, but if you have multiples on the one wire bus, it can take some time.

I think standard practice should be to run it in a timed loop using the timer library interval function, then store the values into global variables that the CAYENNE_OUT functions can simply grab when requested.

Here’s an example scheme you can implement.

Manage delay in the Loop

@dcalvosanz, Glad it works. I prefer this: #include "Timer.h" Timer t; void setup() { //after cayenne begins //call the modbus function every 3 seconds t.every(3000, readMobus); } void loop() { //let the update process run t.update(); } void readModbus() { int modResult; //get the modbus data in modResult //give it to Cayenne Cayenne.virtualWrite(V1, modResult); } The reason is, is that if you put a delay in your function, then nothing else in the system is h…
