MySensors running on ESP8266 module (?)

I've just read something cool on the esp8266.nu forum:
"You can attach sensors directly to the ESP module and have it communicate with the MySensors protocol"
http://www.esp8266.nu/forum/viewtopic.p ... t=37#p2136

I'm not sure if I understand this correctly, but it looks like you can connect a sensor like Dalllas DS18B20 directly to the ESP module and send the data over your Wifi to Domoticz using the mysensors protocol.

It almost sounds to good to be true, but if it is, I could use some help with this.

That link you provided is about ESP Easy and not about MySensors.

But I've checked things a bit more, and yes it's possible to run the MySensors library on an ESP module. It is already available for several months and they use it as a gateway.

But the good news: It's also possible to use it as a gateway + sensor !

I have both NRF24L01 and ESP8266 modules and it would be nice to be able to use both of them with the same software to keep things simple.
