Arduino ESP8266 DHT22, code stop running randomly

This is my set up at the . drive.google.com/file/d/0B0SXNUBOmx3NOHR...Ync/view?usp=sharing
It's normally powered by 6v wall adapter running at 800 mA the board supplies me with 5v at 800 mA and 3.3 v at 800 mA I'm using a bio directional level shifter.


And what kind of serial ESP8266 connection are you using SW or HW?
During test also enable connection status logging in EasyIoT server to see when connection s lost.

I am using the software serial, not sure how to enable the connection status on easyIoT server, after a overnight testing on both nodes,I came down this morning and both nodes have stopped, not sure what to trial where to go from here, a bit stuck.

Hope I will have time to test it this weekend.

@EasyIoT, Thanks that would be appreciated.

Here are some results of testing:

-it works on Arduino Mega and HW serial port, because I'm using DHT22in my thermostat hanging on my wall

-next testing was with Atmega328 and SoftwareSerial
-It didn't work at all if I'm using bad switching power supply. After I added 1000uF capacitor on power line Arduino starts communicating with ESP.
-I've increased SoftwareSerial library buffer size to 128
-It did not work with DEBUG enabled. It stooped randomly when connects to server. I suspects its not enough RAM.
-I've disabled DEBUG. Added #ifdef DEBUG #endif around debugPrintBuffer(); in Esp8266EasyIoT.cpp - it's missing. With this configuration DHT22 works without problem longer period.

Thanks, EasyIoT is this problem only related to did DHT 22 using an Arduino, or does this problem affects all Arduino related interfacing. Am I better off getting a different temperature and humidity sensor as opposed to the DHT 22.
Thanks Andy.
