    Hello, i want to build an Multisensor with 4 DS18b20 temperaturesensors and one relay. The hardware works and i copy/pasted the code from the examples. The temperature readings works fine. But the relay does not recognize every message to change the state.

    Here is my Code:

    
    
      
    /**
    *
    
    // Enable debug prints to serial monitor
    #define MY_DEBUG 
    
    // Enable and select radio type attached
    #define MY_RADIO_RF24
    //#define MY_RADIO_RFM69
    #define MY_NODE_ID 11
    
    #include <MySensors.h>  
    #include <DallasTemperature.h>
    #include <OneWire.h>
    
    #define COMPARE_TEMP 1 // Send temperature only if changed? 1 = Yes 0 = No
    
    #define ONE_WIRE_BUS 2 // Pin where dallase sensor is connected 
    #define MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20 16
    unsigned long SLEEP_TIME = 1000; // Sleep time between reads (in milliseconds)
    OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS); // Setup a oneWire instance to communicate with any OneWire devices (not just Maxim/Dallas temperature ICs)
    DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire); // Pass the oneWire reference to Dallas Temperature. 
    float lastTemperature[MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20];
    int numSensors=0;
    bool receivedConfig = false;
    bool metric = true;
    // Initialize temperature message
    MyMessage msg(0,V_TEMP);
    
    #define RELAY_PIN 4  // Arduino Digital I/O pin number for first relay (second on pin+1 etc)
    #define NUMBER_OF_RELAYS 1 // Total number of attached relays
    #define RELAY_ON 1  // GPIO value to write to turn on attached relay
    #define RELAY_OFF 0 // GPIO value to write to turn off attached relay
    
    
    void before()
    {
      for (int sensor=1, pin=RELAY_PIN; sensor<=NUMBER_OF_RELAYS; sensor++, pin++) {
            // Then set relay pins in output mode
            pinMode(pin, OUTPUT);
            // Set relay to last known state (using eeprom storage)
            digitalWrite(pin, loadState(sensor)?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
        }
    {
      // Startup up the OneWire library
      sensors.begin();
    }
    
    }
    void setup()  
    { 
      // requestTemperatures() will not block current thread
      sensors.setWaitForConversion(false);
    }
    
    void presentation() 
    {
      // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
    
      sendSketchInfo("Temperature Sensor", "1.1");
    
      // Fetch the number of attached temperature sensors  
      numSensors = sensors.getDeviceCount();
    
      // Present all sensors to controller
      for (int i=0; i<numSensors && i<MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++)
      {   
         present(i, S_TEMP);
      }
    
        for (int sensor=1, pin=RELAY_PIN; sensor<=NUMBER_OF_RELAYS; sensor++, pin++) {
            // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
            present(sensor, S_BINARY);
        }
    }
    
    void loop()     
    {     
      // Fetch temperatures from Dallas sensors
      sensors.requestTemperatures();
    
      // query conversion time and sleep until conversion completed
      int16_t conversionTime = sensors.millisToWaitForConversion(sensors.getResolution());
      // sleep() call can be replaced by wait() call if node need to process incoming messages (or if node is repeater)
      wait(conversionTime);
    
      // Read temperatures and send them to controller 
      for (int i=0; i<numSensors && i<MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {
     
        // Fetch and round temperature to one decimal
        float temperature = static_cast<float>(static_cast<int>((getControllerConfig().isMetric?sensors.getTempCByIndex(i):sensors.getTempFByIndex(i)) * 10.)) / 10.;
     
        // Only send data if temperature has changed and no error
        #if COMPARE_TEMP == 1
        if (lastTemperature[i] != temperature && temperature != -127.00 && temperature != 85.00) {
        #else
        if (temperature != -127.00 && temperature != 85.00) {
        #endif
     
          // Send in the new temperature
          send(msg.setSensor(i).set(temperature,1));
          // Save new temperatures for next compare
          lastTemperature[i]=temperature;
        }
      }
      wait(SLEEP_TIME);
    }
    void receive(const MyMessage &message)
    {
        // We only expect one type of message from controller. But we better check anyway.
        if (message.type==V_STATUS) {
            // Change relay state
            digitalWrite(message.sensor-1+RELAY_PIN, message.getBool()?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
            // Store state in eeprom
            saveState(message.sensor, message.getBool());
            // Write some debug info
            Serial.print("Incoming change for sensor:");
            Serial.print(message.sensor);
            Serial.print(", New status: ");
            Serial.println(message.getBool());
        }
    }
    

    i changed the sleep into wait but when i sent an command from my fhem to the sensor the relay does not switch any time.

    Can anybody help me?

      Each sensor must have unique child ID.
      Your presentation:
      DS18B20 ID=0 to max number of DS18B20
      Relay ID=1
      So second DS have got the same ID like relay.

        The same ChildID most likely isn't the cause for the missed relay commands, but the "wait" instructions. IMO the code should be changed to a "non blocking loop". Search the web for that keywords or have al look at https://www.mysensors.org/build/pulse_water as an example within the MySensors framework.
