Looking for esp8266 moisture sensor sketch that works with current libraries

[mrhutchinsonmn]

I am trying my hand at setting up my first esp8266 gateway with attached moisture sensor but continue to have compilation errors that others have experienced. The fix seemed to be to find the right mysensors libraries but I am not having any luck (tried 2.00-2.32)..

Would love to work with a sketch that is known to work with 2.3.1-2.3.2

Errors:

@mrhutchinsonmn esp8266 does not support sleep(). The sleep call will return immediately.

On the other hand, sleeping a gateway will cause any connection to a controller to fail, so if sleep had worked, not much else would.

Was your intention to sleep the esp, or did the sleep call just come along with copied code?

[mrhutchinsonmn]

@mfalkvidd was part of the sketch. I could see right away that sleep did not work
