Trouble with ESP Easy and temp sensors

Has anybody successfully set up a working temperature/humidity sensor with ESP Easy? I've been trying everything I can think of, and I just can't seem to make this work. I've tried different ESP8226 boards, different types of sensors, pull up resistors, pull-down resistors, and changed many configuration settings and just can't seem to get ESP Easy to display a temp value. Seems like there's some bug or setting that has to be just rite that I haven’t figured out. If anybody has any ideas (or a better way to use a wired temp sensor with Domoticz) I'd appreciate it!

What sensor are you using and what ESP?

In general it's quite basic to get it working.

Should be simple indeed. I have 2 of then. Both running espeasy with a dht22 sensor on a gpio port. You should see readings in the log of the esp device. Created dummy temphum device in domoticz and told esp to update it.

Hi there, thanks for your replies. I'm using a Node MCU Lua ESP chip. Some of the sensors I've tried are the BME280, DS18B20, SHT-11, DHT-11 and maybe some others. I'm on ESP Easy version R120. Seems like this should be easy, and there's something obvious that I'm missing.
Edit: I thought I'd add that I can't see anything but zeros in the ESP interface, the problem isn't sending the value to Domoticz. I notice that if I do an I2C scan in tools, I can see the device on the I2C bus, but no value! Also, I have several RFID card readers up and running and they work very well. Thanks for your replies!
