Hi!
I accomplish to do what I wanted thanks to the help of you all, so I'm sharing the results
I ended up with this very simple MySensorGeneric.ino that is able to manage a DHT and a BH1750

MySensorWrapperBH1750 SensorBH1750(CHILD_ID_LIGHT);
MySensorWrapperDHT SensorDHT(CHILD_ID_TEMP, CHILD_ID_HUM, HUMIDITY_SENSOR_DIGITAL_PIN);

{
SensorBH1750.Setup();
SensorDHT.Setup();

I've created a class to manage the BH1750:

class MySensorWrapperBH1750
{
public:
MySensorWrapperBH1750(uint8_t sensor_id);
~MySensorWrapperBH1750();
void Setup();
void Present();
void UpdateSensorValue();
private:
uint8_t _sensor_id;
uint16_t _lastValue;
BH1750 _sensor;
MyMessage _msg;

_sensor.begin();
}
void MySensorWrapperBH1750::Present()
{
present(_sensor_id, S_LIGHT_LEVEL);
}
void MySensorWrapperBH1750::UpdateSensorValue()
{
// Fetch light in Lux from BH1750 sensor
uint16_t newValue = _sensor.readLightLevel();// Get Lux value
if (isnan(newValue)) {
#ifdef MY_DEBUG

}
else if (newValue != _lastValue) {
#ifdef MY_DEBUG
Serial.print("Lux: ");
Serial.println(newValue);

send(_msg.set(newValue));
_lastValue = newValue;
}
}
And for the DHT I've created the following class:
MySensorWrapperDHT.h
// MySensorWrapperDHT.h
#ifndef _MYSENSORWRAPPERDHT_h
#define _MYSENSORWRAPPERDHT_h
//Need to add to project Version.h and MyEepromAdresses.h

#include "DHT.h"
class MySensorWrapperDHT
{
public:
MySensorWrapperDHT(uint8_t sensor_temp_id, uint8_t sensor_humd_id, uint8_t sensor_pin = 3);
~MySensorWrapperDHT();
void Setup();
void Present();
void UpdateSensorValue();

uint8_t _sensorTempId;
uint8_t _sensorHumdId;

else {

#endif
}

if (currentHumdValue != _lastHumdValue) {

send(_msgHumd.set(currentHumdValue, 1));
#ifdef MY_DEBUG
Serial.print("Hum: ");
Serial.println(currentHumdValue);
#endif
}
}
}
And to my surprise the footprint after compiling is even smaller, 18,374 bytes (59%) of program storage space and 913 bytes (44%) of dynamic memory with a single .ino versus 17,748 bytes (58%) of program storage space and 857 bytes (42%) of dynamic memory the above project in VisualMicro. Both results with MY_DEBUG defined.
Next step is to create classes to manage switches, relays and LEDs.
Once again thank you all for the help and fell free to share your opinions about the way I'm trying to do things.
Best regards
@tbowmo more out of curiosity, and from someone that just got started on electronics, so please sorry if this sounds like very noob, but, would it not be safer to plug the V_TARGET LED to the +3.3v pin? How do you ensure that the resistor on the V_TARGET will have constant voltage and that will not blow from over voltage if the VCCio pin is depended on the the Motherboard power?
Thank You and nice work
@Michael-Link I have been out of touch with MySensors for some time now and looking to slowly get back into it. I created this and a few other boards back in 2018 All of the GERBER files for this are in the "Design Files" tab. Those you should be able to send to JLC PCB or one of the other fab houses and have some made. This was designed to be used with 2 other boards that I designed. There was the processor board and the power supply board. The processor board was designed in a way that I could use a couple different switch boards. This one and a universal multi-switch board that had multiple configurations. If you look here you will see my other boards.
