AttachInterrupt fires interrupt

Troubleshooting
1

Hi,

I’m using a Photon to count LED pulses on my electric meter using an interrupt. I’m also using a DHT22 to log the temperature every 5 minutes using the PietteTech library which also uses interrupts. I’ve had some problems with instability which I believe is due to my LED counting interrupt disrupting the delicate timings of the DHT22. So I’m removing and adding the interrupt while reading from the DHT22 but I’m then getting the interrupt incorrectly firing straight after attatchInterrupt. Here’s a rough outline of my code.

Do I need to clear waiting interrupts before attaching the interrupt again?

Thanks for any help,
Kev

    }

      int result = DHT.getStatus();

  delay(10);
