I am trying to add an Arm Function to my simple security system using the particle.function to arm or disarm my system. I can’t seem to get the function result to be part of the loop. Any suggestions. Here is the code. int BackDoor = A0; int Front= A3; int Garage = A1; int Basement = A2; int Bed…

Yes, I will see the return calls. But If I go to disarm it in the particle app it will show the return, but it will not change “isitarmed” to 0. So it stays armed the whole time.

The loop is basically ignoring the Particle Function.

@jzalar , The suggestion from @Ric is the one that will fix your main problem. You have particle.variable() commands scattered around in your code. These should only be at the beginning of your setup() function. This will make your code more efficient at the least. It may even prevent a rare pro…

Yep. Just found that via a search too. Thank you for verifying that. It now works. Only 4 hours to find a missing =. haha thanks for helping

I took the liberty to "slightly" reformat your code (see how to embed code blocks ) and removed some superfluous blank lines. You can make your code much more readable by adopting a consistent indentation scheme than with spreading out your code over more lines than necessary by sprinkling it with bl…

@cyclin_al Thanks for the help. I am going to work on it later today. Any other suggestions? You did say you rewrote it… Jon

@jzalar , My biggest other suggestion is what I have learned about @Scruffr ’s posts. Re-read his post a second time. Try to really understand it. Then read it again… there is a huge wealth of knowledge there. Your alarm system is simple, as you said. When you get it going, you will get the chan…

What do you mean by that? What result does this code give you? Are you seeing the return values from your Particle.function calls?
