Hi Gordon,
Thank you for your quick follow up. I have actually tried wrapping the entire code in onInit, but then nothing runs at all, it just hangs and nothing is spit out on the console. I had tried several times to update the firmware and there was a long press of the button prior to applying power. Had a green light, then switch to the red light each time. Only after downgrading to v1.99 did it seem to be recognized again.
As for the PIR and Microwave sensors, I've tried common ground initially, prior to connecting to a separate rail, I typically do a common ground, but have heard that sometimes these sensors need a separate power rail as they can cause noise, hence the reason for the filter cap. In either case, when I have introduced the SMS module code in addition to the sensor, it locks the input pin from the sensor on high and multiple messages are sent.
I'm wondering what else I can try at this point. Thanks again for all of your help.
