I have created a Thing using NodeMCU 1.0 ESP8266.
Code can be verified and uploaded.
If I select the full editor the device is not found.
The device type can be found in the editor device list and selected but there is a ! pop up box associated with the Port label.
"The device found is a 3rd party device but we are not sure it is NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)"
Data is uploaded to the cloud but Serial monitor can't be used -Serial port is busy.
only ESP8266 dev is connected to Mac Laptop OS 11.7.10
Sometimes serial monitor briefly displays connection but then says port is busy.
Board runs as expected and uploads DHT22 temperature data to dashbd
I have used the ESP 8266 device on IDE 2.3.2 and it verifies and runs OK.
It has a label on the board that it is a NodeMCU with a CP2102 serial chip.
This is only a notification that it was not possible for Arduino Cloud to positively identify the board. This is normal and expected when using the Wemos D1 Mini board.
Some Arduino boards (such as most of the official Arduino boards) produce a serial port that has a unique USB VID/PID pair. This makes it possible for Arduino Cloud to automatically detect the specific board of that port. However, that identification is not possible with the NodeMCU board. The reason is that board uses a general purpose CP2102 USB to serial bridge chip. This chip uses the USB VID/PID pair provided by the chip manufacturer, meaning there is no way for Arduino Cloud to know which board that chip is on (or even if it is an Arduino board at all!).
For this reason, it is necessary for the user to manually select the board. As long as you make sure to select the correct board, everything is fine and you can ignore that message.
Are you using the Serial Monitor by clicking the button in the "full editor"?
Do you have the Serial Monitor open in any other browser windows or tabs?
