Monitoring change in connection status

Hi all
I used the overridden function thinger_state_listener as suggested here
I used it to display either a red or green led to show connectivity. All is well.(Using a MKR GSM 1400)
My question is: Does this method (thinger_state_listener(state)) get called only when there is a status change?
In other words - given my function:

            ThingerMKRGSM::thinger_state_listener(state);
        switch(state){
            case THINGER_AUTHENTICATED:
                // turn on  led or beep
                Serial.println("Authenticated");
                digitalWrite(green_led, LOW);
                digitalWrite(red_led, HIGH);            
                break;
            default:
                // turn off  led or beep
                Serial.println("Not authenticated");
                digitalWrite(green_led, HIGH);
                digitalWrite(red_led, LOW);                         
                break;
        }

If I wanted to make a flashing led to show when not authenticated, would I need to set a Boolean within the function and then use this in the main loop to enable the (non-blocking) flash?

Hi,

I would do it in the way you are mentioning, when is detected, set a flag and according it, the led array behaves in one or other way.

And of course avoid the usage of the delay(); function in the flashing implementation :wink:

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply.
