So - to get it straight in my mind - the checkentry function will be called multiple times while the trigger exists, but is the destroy function also called multiple times? Or is checkentry called whenever tables are created, but destroy only ever called once when the table is removed for the last time? Just trying to work out whether I need to avoid removing the LED trigger in the destroy function as well.
