Cannot read digital inputs on Grove+ with RP4

I am using a Pi 4 board and the Grove+ to get started with IOT. I am using C#, Dotnet 5.0, System.Device.Gpio/Iot.Device.Bindings and targeting the linux-arm runtime. Everything is progressing well enough as I am able to drive the simple digital output devices such as the LED or the buzzer. However, I cannot seem to read the digital inputs correctly.

I setup the controller so:

        var gpio = new GpioController();
        var relay = PinValue.Low;
        I2cConnectionSettings i2CConnectionSettings = new(1, GrovePi.DefaultI2cAddress);
        var i2cDevice = I2cDevice.Create(i2CConnectionSettings);
        var grovePi = new GrovePi(i2cDevice);

and I try to read so:

            button = new Button(grovePi, GrovePort.DigitalPin6);
            while (!stoppingToken.IsCancellationRequested)
            {
                logger.LogInformation(button.Value == PinValue.Low ? "Button is on" : "Button is off");
                await Task.Delay(10000, stoppingToken);
            }

What have I forgotten to do?
