I have attached a DS1307 DS18B20 temperature sensor to the D3 pin of my Wemos D1 Mini Lite. It was the only pin left. Works fine, except when I use putty.exe - serial to connect to my USB com port: then the getDeviceCount() returns 0. When I use the Serial Monitor of the Arduino IDE, it works fine.
I expect this to be related to flow control using RTS/CTS and/or DTR/DSR when I look at the schematic, but how can I tweak putty to behave like the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor does? Thx in advance!

The pull-up is beyond my doubt. I suspect the data flow mechanism coming from the CH340 chip to interfere, but I don't know how putty serial causes the problem while the IDE serial monitor doesn't.
