This should be a relatively quick final testing process as the action has already been tested.

I like to have either the Wippersnapper device page open (so I can see it's components and status), or the feed page for the switch, or both! Sometimes the IO pages get stale (they use a live connection) so it's a good idea to refresh the tab/window if it's been open for a while or isn't showing data.

Then open the door (or whatever) to trigger the magnetic contact switch, then watch the status change on the device page and a new data point arriving on the feed page.

Very shortly afterwards an email will be winding it's way into your inbox, it can take a few seconds for the phone to check for new emails (as you can see below in the video), but expect that ping momentarily...

Your work here is done, nice one!

Troubleshooting 🔬

These kinds of Actions are relatively new for Adafruit IO, so if you run into trouble, have a quick go at troubleshooting yourself and then pop over to the forums and let us know as much as you can tell us about the issue.

If I were you, I would probably duplicate the action in a new one (disabling the first one) and see if it works, then, also adding data manually to trigger it, failing that, break the problem (and action) down into smaller chunks.

Check the logs from the Run Now button inside the Edit action page, and use the information (ℹ️) button on the Actions list page for a more detailed overview. See the end of the previous page for details.

Lastly, also verify the hardware and expectations with a multimeter!
