Call Particle Proton Function

[scottsuine]

I have installed homebridge-particle and have it successfully subscribed to events and working. I am trying to get a successful function call

my Proton has the following function exposed
get ACStatus
it accepted a string Args and I have made is accept a string in the format "1=1" and "1=0". If I type these strings into the particle iPhone app, the function works as expected

my accessoryr section in config.json is
"accessory": "Airconditioner",
"name": "Air Conditioner",
"deviceid": "removed for privacy",
"type": "LIGHT",
"function_name": "setACStatus",
"args": "1={STATE}"

The accessory is visible in Homekit and I can toggle the button, however the function is not sucessfully called and is not triggered, what am I doing wrong

thanks

you need to call your function argument. For example if you have a function in your particle code with the "on" argument, you would need to set that as the args. below is a quick sample particle code showing the "on" argument being passed.

`void setup() {
Spark.function("on", on);
Spark.function("off", off);
pinMode(relay, OUTPUT);
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
pinMode(led2, OUTPUT);

}

void loop() {
/*
digitalWrite(relay,HIGH);
delay(2000);
digitalWrite(relay, LOW);
*/

}

int on(String command)
{

       digitalWrite(relay,HIGH);
        digitalWrite(led,HIGH); 
        digitalWrite(led2, HIGH); 

}`

I'm really struggling to understand the above example and how it relates to "args" parameters in the particle devices section in the config.json

Can anyone provide a working example to toggle a switch on/off both config.json and particle firmware.

Thanks
