Hi! i'm using a template I found on github to try and see if i can control a relay with twitch chat. After putting in all required fields including the required information the esp8266 was able to connect to the chat and type out a response! however thats about all it can do, the servo wouldnt function no matter what. I checked if my hardware was the issue but quickly loading up an on off code for the relay showed it works fine. heres the template im using:

sendTwitchMessage("Ready to go Boss!");
} else {
Serial.println("failed... try again in 5 seconds");
// Wait 5 seconds before retrying
delay(5000);
}
return;
}
client.loop();
}
void sendTwitchMessage(String message) {
client.sendMessage(ircChannel, message);
}
void callback(IRCMessage ircMessage) {
//Serial.println("In CallBack");
if (ircMessage.command == "PRIVMSG" && ircMessage.text[0] != '\001') {
//Serial.println("Passed private message.");
ircMessage.nick.toUpperCase();
String message("<" + ircMessage.nick + "> " + ircMessage.text);
//prints chat to serial
Serial.println(message);
//this is where you would replace these elements to match your streaming configureation.
if (ircMessage.text.indexOf("subscribed") > -1 && ircMessage.nick == "STREAMELEMENTS")
{
digitalWrite(relay, HIGH);
delay(10000);
digitalWrite(relay, LOW);
delay(25);
}
if (ircMessage.text.indexOf("streaming") > -1 && ircMessage.nick == "STREAMELEMENTS")
{
digitalWrite(relay, HIGH);
delay(10000);
digitalWrite(relay, LOW);
delay(25);
}
if (ircMessage.text.indexOf("test") > -1 && ircMessage.nick == "STREAMNAME")
{
digitalWrite(relay, HIGH);
delay(10000);
digitalWrite(relay, LOW);
delay(25);
}
return;
}
}
once the ESP loads it sends the message (Under the streamers name and not its own) to the chat and thats it really, I cant get it to read the chat at all.
So yeah im kind of stumped. I'm not very good with this stuff so if you need pictures or additional information let me know.
