Trouble obtaining values from Nextion screen to Arduino

Question

Currently I have a setup running an Arduino BME 280 sensor and a 4.3" Nextion screen. What my program does is sent all the calculated values from the BME to numbers and progress bars in my Nextion on a screen called "Run".

This page consists of 3 values: Delta T, Temperature and Humidity as well as 3 buttons for an alarm. Each of these displayed values is connected to their own progress bar. Each of the individual values has a lower and upper alarm setting which can be adjusted on a following Nextion screen called "Settings".

So basically what I am struggling with is obtaining the obtaining the values from my "settings" screen to write the "if" function in my Arduino i.e (if the button is enabled on the run page and the value is less than X on the "Settings" page or more than Y on the "Settings" page, sound the alarm).

I have used the .getValue function, but it does not return a value to my Arduino program. Can anyone please assist. It will be highly appreciated.

I had to repeat the getvalue code multiple times, there seems to be a bug which a youtuber pointed out in his video. https://github.com/rvxfahim/AHU-Firmware/blob/main/development_HMI.ino you can see from line 133, I called it so many times to be safe because it sometimes returned nothing or probably returned zero I don't remember it was a long time ago.
