The relay is wired up so as to be on when signal is LOW, but this is not the issue, as I am testing the actual toggling of the state. If this was wrong, then I should simply get the opposite state indicated.
V6 is not the same pin used, in fact it is an unused pin.
Here is the entire code (please note that it is only a copy I am working on and not the final official code:
/*
Solarduino main
From "Cayenne DS18B20 Example"and other examples
"cayenne5MQTT_SolArduino1Main_camping"
This sketch shows how to send temperature data to a DS18B20 Sensor in the Cayenne Dashboard.
The CayenneMQTT Library is required to run this sketch. If you have not already done so you can install it from the Arduino IDE Library Manager.
