I've been experimenting with using the arduino plugin to control these Sonoff brand relay boards. They are basically an ESP8266 controlled relay board. So far the basic relay board works great, but where i run into problems is the 2 channel and 4 channel versions both use nodeMCU pin D8 for one of the relays.
The D8 pin doesn't seem to be available for use, is there anyway to add that functionality?
Also, one of the features of these boards is GPIO14 (D5) is brought out to a header for adding a temperature sensor. Ideally i would like to use a DHT temp/humidity sensor, but would accept a DS18B20.
Are there any plans to add the onewire bus as an option for the NodeMCU board?
I know it's probably possible to include this by using the API, but i'm not quite up to speed with Arduino IDE programming yet.
But having pin D8 available to the NodeMCU board would be awesome, if at all possible.
Overall using this arduino plugin with the Sonoff boards works great, very responsive, local control button works great (via an event in Homeseer) . I've also got the Sonoff Touch wall switches working the same way, also very responsive and look great on the wall!
