Trouble with turning off a pin using millis

I used the blink without delay example to help me write this. The idea is that I would click the widget in the dashboard on then off and let the code turn the pin off after a period of time. I have my variable "oneHour" currently set to 5000. When I turn on my widget in the dashboard, the pin goes high then almost immediately goes low. I think I'm close but....

CAYENNE_IN(VIRTUAL_PIN3)
{
  // get value sent from dashboard
  int currentValue = getValue.asInt(); // 0 to 1
  unsigned long currentMillis = millis();
  unsigned long previousMillis = 0;
  // read the state of the switch into a local variable:
  reading = digitalRead(buttonPin);
  buttonState = reading;
  Serial.print("buttonState ");
  Serial.print(buttonState);  
      // assuming you wire your relay as normally open
      if (currentValue == 1 || buttonState == 1) {
        Serial.println("1st if");
        digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
        digitalWrite(relayPin, HIGH);
        count++;
        if (currentMillis - previousMillis >= oneHour){
          previousMillis = currentMillis;
          Serial.println("2nd if");
          if (count > preCount){                 
            Serial.println("3rd if");
            digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
            digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW);
            buttonState = 0;
            preCount = count;
          }
        }
      }
    }
