I am using an Arduino uno with a 5100 shield. I am just trying to get a button to turn on an led.
it works but very slowly and quite inconsistently. here is my sketch. I would appreciate any suggestions. sincere thanks,

Cayenne Light Switch Example
This sketch shows how to set up a Light Switch with Cayenne.
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.
Steps:
- In the Cayenne Dashboard add a new Light Switch Widget.
- Select a virtual channel number for the widget.
- Set the VIRTUAL_CHANNEL value below to virtual channel you selected.
- Attach the negative leg of an LED to ground and the other leg to the selected digital pin.
Schematic:
[Ground] – [LED] – [Resistor] – [Digital Pin] - Set the ACTUATOR_PIN value below to the pin number you used when connecting your LED.
- Set the Cayenne authentication info to match the authentication info from the Dashboard.
- Compile and upload this sketch.
- Once the Arduino connects to the Dashboard you can use the widget button to turn the LED on and off.
