button HOLD action only happen once

[ChrisVonFrosta]

i would like to use long press aka "HOLD" for dimming or colormixing in berry.
I expacted that HOLD mesage repeats in interval from SetOption62.
But they occures only once per button press.
Is the an option i overlooked?

Have a look to Switchmode 11 and 12 in https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Buttons-and-Switches/#switchmode

The rules cookbook has an example on how to use that that you can probably transpose to Berry

Have a look to Switchmode 11 and 12 ...

this has to been set for each button individually?

also I see, that switchmode is only for switches, not for buttons?!

mcp23x.dat:

{"NAME":"MCP23017 A=B1-8, B=B9-16, C=B17-24, D=B25-32","GPIO":[32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63]}

i tried switchmode1 11 but i got only one "HOLD" message per "push&hold" event, Don't matter how long I keep the button presssed.

10:29:25.730 CMD: setoption32
10:29:25.733 RSL: RESULT = {"SetOption32":5}
10:29:39.713 CMD: switchmode1
10:29:39.716 RSL: RESULT = {"SwitchMode1":11}

It can't be for a Button pin, only for individual Switch pins. You need to be very specific about not just talking about a physical thing, as Tasmota can handle such stuff in quite different ways, configured as Button vs Switch inputs.

Configuring as "Button" is only reasonable for a momentary push, while configuring as "Switch" can both work for locking toggles or momentary push switches, due to the many behavior variations available with SwitchMode - but still not with all the features specific to Button configs.

And to your question, yes it has to be applies to each switch individually like

switchmode4 11

To set Switch 4 to mode 11
This is a permanent configuration (saved in flash settings) Tha you have to enter only once in the console

with other words: i cannot configure the harware pushbuttons on MCP23017 as buttons AND get the repeated HOLD message?
i have to configure them as switches in `mcp27x.dat, i haven't?

[barbudor]

Yes
