1) Give a description of the problem
If either fridge door is left open, the piston should send me a warning - This part works. However, I can’t get it to tell me when the door closes. I’ve put the “closed” part at the end of the “While” section, and after the “While” section, but this part never triggers. In fact, the part after the “While” triggers after the warning. I assumed the piston would stay within the “While” section while the door was open, and would leave this section to run the next section afterwards. I don’t understand why it runs the whole piston while the “While” part is still running.
2) What is the expected behaviour?
The 2 minute warning works (I knocked it down to 10 seconds for testing in the piston.)
3) What is happening/not happening?
I can’t figure out where to put the announcement telling me when the door is closed.
