Lets see if i can get all this right, this being my first post to the particle community. im working on a simple project that starts the photon is semi-auto mode. while running my code with the WiFi off everything appears to work fine. i want the photon to connect at a set time every night only if certain parameters are met publish data and than turn the WiFi off. the code i have for connecting works, and i can publish, but only on the first try. any attempt after that fails to publish. i can still connect and then disconnect and WiFi off. i believe there is something blocking. i think this because i have a separate button to reconnect so i can re-flash. after i use my re-flash button the photon stays connected fine but my timer counting code doesn’t work. this sound confusing as i write it but i hope the code is easy enough to follow. ive added alot of delays in places that shouldn’t hinder timing and also some code to try to get things working ex (SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED)). there’s some Blynk code in there because i was using blynk to test, but now im doing it without the app. if anyone can take a look at what i have a point out my errors seeing as im still new at this…
