On_press = Turn on / On_release = Turn off Option

[Telk0]

Hello,

Is it posible to add this function to the code? this way you will be able to control a dimmer with hold to dim.

Up?

I believe right now you should be able to see the state of the button (if pressed or not)? Isn't that working?

I need the relay to turn on with state pressed and turn off with release to be able to control dimmer Directly Med venlig hilsen / Best regards Martin Madsen

Status update @edwardtfn

[edwardtfn]

My apologies for the delay here.
I cannot test this with my current setup, but please try adding this to your yaml temporarily and let me know if it works properly so I can add to the main code:

binary_sensor:
  - id: !extend bs_button_1
    on_press:
      then:
        - switch.turn_on: sw_relay_1
    on_release:
      then:
        - switch.turn_off: sw_relay_1

@edwardtfn

I have testet the new code.

Issues found:
On VERY fast touch, the relay toggle on/off and then turn on and stay on.
If you hold the button for a sec or more the turn on while holding and off on release works good.
Toggle does not work with swipe/multitouch.. if you try to swipe or multitouch, the first button you hit st in the action will toggle the relay. both Button 1 and Swipe left sensor activates. Not sure this can co-exist :)

[edwardtfn]

Ok, I will have to work a bit more on this and disable other actions when this is enabled.

[Telk0]

Maybe its posible to add an delay? That sensors first respond after certain ms?
Same with the quick touch issue that keep relay on? maybe an touch delay can help with this?

[edwardtfn]

We can have delays, but my main concern now is that the touch is still registering other events (click and long-press) which will conflict with your requirement anyways.
I will have to add a selector for "momentary" vs "normal" buttons so it behaves differently.

[edwardtfn]

Maybe we can use the binary sensor for long press instead... I will look at that, hold on...

[edwardtfn]

Please try this and let me know:

binary_sensor:
  - id: !extend bs_button_1_long_press_event
    on_press:
      then:
        - switch.turn_on: sw_relay_1
    on_release:
      then:
        - switch.turn_off: sw_relay_1

Please remove the previous tested code.

This code is not working at all. Now there are no momentary at all or on_press hold.
