So far nothing I tried has made a trigger work with the esp8266. Everything works great with the Uno which I installed about a week ago when I opened my account.
I tried an example Adam posted 2 weeks ago. Installed as new device. Doesn’t trigger. Widgets all appear normal, first one counts up, when it hits the trip number nothing happens.
Anyone have any ideas? Am I missing some ridiculously easy point?
Stop the press!!
What I just tried was to add another widget (ch7 in the code) and trigger it from the Uno. It WORKS!
Yet, when I add a trigger to the 8266 Ch 7 widget to email on trip nothing happens. Should this have worked? So the problem appears to be on the side that initiates the action?? A week ago I had no idea that Cayenne existed so I still could be missing something obvious. 
PS: I tried earlier triggering a Uno widget from the 8266 and that did not work.
