I am trying to write python code to get a relay to switch on when a reading is between two numbers.
here is the code

        # Get wetness

        wetness=wet.read()

        print("wetness",wetness)                       

       

        if wetness<400 :

            print("wet")

            relaypin.value(1)

            time.sleep(checkin)

        else:

            print("Dry")

            relaypin.value(0) 

            time.sleep(1)                     

            relaypin.value(1)

if I replace  if wetness<400  with 

                   

if wetness>=400 and wetness<=500

it then prints dry whereas I still want it to be wet.

What am I doing wrong?

Replace the and with or.

Why would you delete the post? It would be helpful for others. Quite rude tbh!

thanks I was rewriting my post and I copy and pasted a blank piece of code and deleted everything.

Very odd, your syntax looks OK (apart from the missing colon).  This works:

a = 450

if a >= 300 and a <= 500:

  print("a is between")

else:

  print("a is not between")

Have you never clicked back then post and deleted everything you posted?

a python way of doing it is 

if 400 <= wetness <= 500:

No, edited it maybe but not deleted everything along with the title.
