MultiRelayExpanderWithToggleSwitch unstable

Mateusz Pięta

Hello,
Im working on GW with directly attached sensors for Relay array using PCF8574 ( i need about 24 relays & buttons ) using MySensors development branch
I know that code works but sometimes gateway does not respond to domoticz at startup ( or even serial monitor ) and sometimes it breaks after few minutes of working..

faulty arduino ? dont have any spare one to test :(
Or maybe there is a code problem ?

check it out:

Everything works now :)
below is corrected code:

Hello
I wanted to understand are you using 2 PCF8574? one for input and another for output?
also in the code which entries are to add the relays and assign a specific button?
the code if inserted on wemos d1 works?
sorry for the many questions because I have to put 8 relays controlled with 8 buttons and interface with domoticz

thank you
