Relay Unreachable on platform / Arduino ESP8266

Hi,

I am new with Cayenne device.

I want to controle a relay with an arduino mega and ESP8266.

Using the web platfom, I have the message telling that the relay is Unreachable. But with IOS platform it works.

I put a screen shot and here is the code I have in the arduino:

/*
This sketch connects to the Cayenne server using an ESP8266 WiFi module as a shield connected via a hardware serial to an Arduino.

The CayenneMQTT Library is required to run this sketch. If you have not already done so you can install it from the Arduino IDE Library Manager.

Steps:
1. Install the ESP8266SerialLibrary.zip library via the Arduino IDE (Sketch->Include Library->Add .ZIP Library) from the Cayenne extras/libraries
   folder (e.g. My Documents\Arduino\libraries\CayenneMQTT\extras\libraries) to compile this example.
2. Connect the ESP8266 as a shield to your Arduino. This example uses the Serial1 hardware serial pins available on the Mega. You can also try 
   using a software serial, though it may be less stable.
3. Set the Cayenne authentication info to match the authentication info from the Dashboard.
4. Set the network name and password.
5. Compile and upload the sketch.
6. A temporary widget will be automatically generated in the Cayenne Dashboard. To make the widget permanent click the plus sign on the widget.

NOTE: This code requires ESP8266 firmware version 1.0.0 (AT v0.22) or later.

  // To send the temperature in Fahrenheit use the corresponding code below.
  //Cayenne.fahrenheitWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL, sensors.getTempFByIndex(0));
}

// Default function for processing actuator commands from the Cayenne Dashboard.
// You can also use functions for specific channels, e.g CAYENNE_IN(1) for channel 1 commands.
CAYENNE_IN_DEFAULT()
{
  CAYENNE_LOG("Channel %u, value %s", request.channel, getValue.asString());
  //Process message here. If there is an error set an error message using getValue.setError(), e.g getValue.setError("Error message");
}



// This function is called when data is sent from Cayenne.
CAYENNE_IN(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL1)
{
  int value = getValue.asInt();
  CAYENNE_LOG("Channel %d, pin %d, value %d", VIRTUAL_CHANNEL1, ACTUATOR_PIN, value);
  // Write the value received to the digital pin.
  if (value == 0)
  digitalWrite(4, HIGH);
  else
  digitalWrite(4, LOW);
  
}

try to add the Mega using Bring Your Own Thing.
