Getting data to IoT cloud widget

[sdietterle]

I am using the HC-SR04 to measure distance and would like to display the measurement on a widget. I have a widget defined as value but it never updates, always displays zero. I am also trying to light an LED widget when the distance is less than 10cm. The distance is displayed correctly in the serial monitor but the physical LED on pin 7 does not light. It does not print "LED status changed" in the serial output.

  Arduino IoT Cloud Variables description

  The following variables are automatically generated and updated when changes are made to the Thing

  int distance;
  bool led;

  Variables which are marked as READ/WRITE in the Cloud Thing will also have functions
  which are called when their values are changed from the Dashboard.
  These functions are generated with the Thing and added at the end of this sketch.
