chech your sensor to see if it has pull-ups, the ESP12 does not have any. You can check with a voltmeter, SDA & SCL should be close to 3.3 volt. If not connect 2 4k7 resistors between Vcc and the I2C bus.

It is very simple.
If all sensors are I2C then connect all SDA together and all SCL together.
Also there must be a a pullup resistor on SDA and one on SCL but probably one or more of your sensor boards do already have a pullup resistor. In that case the external pullups are not needed anymore.

When GPIO2 is pulled low during start-up the ESP8266 will not boot-up with ESPEasy but in another sort of mode.
