Joe,
I have created many custom Device Types that I use with the Arduino ThingShield. Below is an example of one that monitors 4 door contact sensors + 2 garage doors + Temp + Humidity. While I am not sure why your code is not working, I thought it might help to show you an example that I have been successfully running for many months.
Also, you may want to make your string parsing simpler in the parse() routine by modifying the Arduino code to simply send “washer pending”, “washer done”, “dryer pending”, & “dryer done” which lets you simplify your split() command.
I also find it best to try to implement the Arduino as standard SmartThings capabilities. You could emulate either a “contact sensor” or a “switch” pretty easily. It helps because you can then see similar syntax in other example Device Types.
Anyway, here’s my custom Device Types for monitor numerous doors within my home:

I added “washer” and “dryer” string attributes, which I presume I’ll be able to read from my SmartApp. Mostly I want my app to send a notification when the washer or dryer finishes done. Time to look through some examples and go over the app docs.
