Hi all,
I am trying to mod the switch changes mode app so when you turn the switch off it reverts to the previous mode.
I defined my variable and it sets the current mode to lastMode, but when the switch is turned off it lastMode is set to null. How do I keep lastMode set between app calls?

* Ties a mode to a switch's (virtual or real) on/off state. Perfect for use with IFTTT.
* Simple define a switch to be used, then tie the on/off state of the switch to a specific mode.
* Connect the switch to an IFTTT action, and the mode will fire with the switch state change.
