Hello, all. I am a little embarrassed to ask for help with what seems like something I should be able to debug myself, but I’ve been struggling for a while. I wrote a quick app that is supposed to turn on a ceiling fan when the thermostat is in the “Heating” state. I have the below code but the app simply does nothing. It’s almost like my subscription is incorrect, but I’m not sure. I think that I’ve just confused myself at this point. I’d appreciate some fresh eyes.
