I've been searching for a solution and found one after trial and error. I think my biggest mistake was to use the printed pin numbers instead of the gpio numbers of the nodemcu when adding my temp sensor. My code looks like this, pin 5 is D1:
/**
* The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
* between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
* The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
* repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
* network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

*******************************
*
* REVISION HISTORY
* Version 1.0 - Henrik EKblad
* Contribution by a-lurker and Anticimex,
* Contribution by Norbert Truchsess <norbert.truchsess@t-online.de>
* Contribution by Ivo Pullens (ESP8266 support)
*
* DESCRIPTION
* The EthernetGateway sends data received from sensors to the WiFi link.
* The gateway also accepts input on ethernet interface, which is then sent out to the radio network.
*
* VERA CONFIGURATION:
* Enter "ip-number:port" in the ip-field of the Arduino GW device. This will temporarily override any serial configuration for the Vera plugin.
* E.g. If you want to use the defualt values in this sketch enter: 192.168.178.66:5003
*
* LED purposes:
* - To use the feature, uncomment any of the MY_DEFAULT_xx_LED_PINs in your sketch, only the LEDs that is defined is used.
* - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation recieved
* - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
* - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or recieve crc error
*
* See http://www.mysensors.org/build/esp8266_gateway for wiring instructions.
* nRF24L01+ ESP8266
* VCC VCC
* CE GPIO4
* CSN/CS GPIO15
* SCK GPIO14
* MISO GPIO12
* MOSI GPIO13
* GND GND
*
* Not all ESP8266 modules have all pins available on their external interface.
* This code has been tested on an ESP-12 module.
* The ESP8266 requires a certain pin configuration to download code, and another one to run code:
* - Connect REST (reset) via 10K pullup resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('reset switch')
* - Connect GPIO15 via 10K pulldown resistor to GND
* - Connect CH_PD via 10K resistor to VCC
* - Connect GPIO2 via 10K resistor to VCC
* - Connect GPIO0 via 10K resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('bootload switch')
*
* Inclusion mode button:
* - Connect GPIO5 via switch to GND ('inclusion switch')
*
* Hardware SHA204 signing is currently not supported!
*
* Make sure to fill in your ssid and WiFi password below for ssid & pass.

I know the thread was old, but I thought a solution would be worth telling 
Here is a sketch of the pins:
