    your example compiles for me.

    Consider removing TimeAlarms.h library and use gw.wait(250); instead of Alarm.delay(250);

    gw.wait() executes gw.process() over and over again during the delay time; so it is essentially non-blocking.

      My bad. I copied the wrong sketch to this chat. I have revised the sketch and it complies but it's not working... :( Please see sketch above.

        This is the serial message I get

          @jeylites

          fyi, just pick one name...

          gw.sendSketchInfo("Relay", "1.0");
          gw.sendSketchInfo("Alarm Pannel", "1.0");

          What is this supposed to be doing? it looks like:

          reporting the state of three reed switches
          actuating a relay

          Why are you using the dalays? time?

          hard to really understand what you are trying to do here...

            Essentially, I will like to combine Array Binary and Relay Actuator in one sketch.

              three binary switches and a single relay?

                    @jeylites it looks like you are overwriting i somewhere inside the loop. can you try to add prints of the value of i at several strategic points to see when it becomes 5? I would suggest to add one (and also print BUTTON_PIN[i]) before "msg[i].sensor = i;", one after "// Setup the button" and print i with the BUTTON_PIN[i].

                        @jeylites Alas compiling is not a guarantee against memory overwrites....as button_pin should have shown 4 and not 5 i assume that either the index (i) got corrupt or the button_pin array.

                          I think this is what you want. I cannot test it right now, but it does compile:

                          #include <MySensor.h>

                          #define NUMBER_OF_REEDS 3

                          const int reedPin[NUMBER_OF_REEDS] = {4, 5, 6};

                            to turn relay off automatically after two minutes (and send the updated "off status" to controller... try something like this untested code:

                            #include <MySensor.h>
                            #include <SPI.h>
                            #include <Bounce2.h>
                            
                            #define NUMBER_OF_REEDS 3
                            
                            const int relayPin = 3;
                            const int reedPin[NUMBER_OF_REEDS] = {4, 5, 6};
                            
                            int reedState[NUMBER_OF_REEDS];
                            Bounce debouncer[NUMBER_OF_REEDS] = Bounce();
                            
                            unsigned long relayTimer;
                            
                            MySensor gw;
                            MyMessage msg[NUMBER_OF_REEDS];

                              gw.sendSketchInfo("Test", "1.0a");
                              gw.present(0, S_LIGHT);
                              pinMode(relayPin, OUTPUT);
                              digitalWrite(relayPin, gw.loadState(0));
                              for (int i = 0; i < NUMBER_OF_REEDS; i++)
                              {
                                debouncer[i].attach(reedPin[i]);
