Hello guys, im a newbie to Cayenne & MQTT but learning slowly, I can connect a no/nc garage door contact to analogue pin to get a reading,but i would like to connect it via a digital input pin to the cayenne dashboard but with no luck, I would be grateful for any help, thanks in advance.

There is no error on the serial monitor channel 5 is showing 0 & 1 as expected, but when I go to set a trigger on channel 5 I get a slider from -500 to +500 instead of a 0 or 1 option and have to set it to 0.5, so the light on channel 5 operates from a switch 0 or 1.
Hi thanks for your patience, I think the problem is in lines 43 - 47 or 8/9/20-22
when I pull pin 5 low the door widget changes from 1 to 0 but the open close widget on the same channel stays the same !.
