Registering variables problem

[pwallington]

A while back, Dave explained the timing of the cloud registration of Functions&Variables here Case of the Missing Variables (emphasis added):

@Dave

The cloud asks for a list of variables/functions from your core two times, once about 1.25 seconds after connecting, and then again about 60 seconds later if the first time failed. If you're blocking during setup, your firmware will miss the first call, and if you have random delays scattered elsewhere, you might be missing the second call occasionally.

Unless this has changed - it means you have about 1s on startup before you need to have done the registration. This explains why delay(2000) stopped it from working
