- Mon Dec 14, 2015 2:40 pm #36416 Is there a way to read the status of an output pin into a variable?
I can see the status under the /vars page but when I try to read it with pi it changes the state of the pin.

I think that ESP8266 Basic is a great platform for the ESP so much potential here!

- Mon Dec 14, 2015 7:40 pm #36441 Normally this would be done with a tracking variable in basic.

assign a value to a variable.
Set the pin to that value.
Read the variable to check what you last set the in to.

I am not oped to implementing this in the functions but it could be confusing.
