I'm afraid you want too much. Stay with what you know. Can you do the whole project with a single nodeMCU or ESP32 ?
A few problems are:
- The NodeMCU has a 3.3V I2C bus and the Arduino Uno has a 5V I2C bus. That means you have a voltage mismatch on the I2C bus.
- You should have just one Master on the I2C bus, but you have three.
- The onRequest handler (the
Request()function) should be short and fast, it may not contain a delay. - Why make things complicated by adding a WatchDog timeout ?
- It is unclear how the I2C multiplexer is in the circuit
- and so on.
I can make that list a lot longer, and maybe others will help to solve a few problems here and there. That will not help. The overall setup of your project will not work.
Think of a different way, draw it on a piece of paper and ask us if it might work.
