Arduino Uno with ESP8266 Wifi transceiver or ESP8266 NodeMCU board?
In my opinion, it is more desirable to program the ESP8266 directly. I'm always shivering when I see a Uno (ab)using the ESP8266 as a WiFi bridge when the ESP8266 already has everything needed for the ...

Arduino Nano IoT Power Consumption
Two of those 10mA come from the ATECC608 crypto chip which idles at 2mA. That leaves 8mA for you to track down.

ESP8266 disconnects after few hours
As long as I know you need at least 170mA to power the esp8266 also you need 100-200mA for the arduino and 100mA for the relay so I recommend to use a 1A power supply and solder some capacitors on the ...

How do you take the simplest continuous reading from a Garmin Lidar Lite V4 using I2C on a Particle Boron v4.1.0?
As romkey pointed out, I had the pull-up resistors wired wrong. Pull-up resistors are connected to power, not to ground.
Then I had to include wire.h and initiate Wire.begin(); in setup.

When you added the class you obviously deleted/moved code into it from elsewhere.
One bit of code that you missed in that moving around will be the code that declares what esp8266 is:

I don't think there is. It also kind of depends on how you are going to store the data.
