@Sparkman ok i have another arduino what sketch do you recommend i use on it?

@Sparkman I think i was supposed to use the reply. Sorry. so for this to work i wound need to purchase some sort of controller like a "middle man"

OK thank you for replying. so for this to work i wound need to purchase some sort of controller like a "middle man"

I have 2 arduinos with nrf24l01+ radios attached to each arduino. I uploaded the "relay with button" sketches onto each arduino. on arduino1 I have wired a momentary on button to pin 3 through switch to ground. on arduino2 I have a relay attached to pin 4. I have made no changes to code and everything is wired correctly. whenever i push the button on arduino1 the state of arduino2 pin 4 never changes. Am i missing something here? Thank you in advance.
