Does anyone use this button? I'm looking for some help with a quirk I'm having.
If the button hasn't been pressed for a period of time (around 30-60 minutes) and I press any of the buttons, it will trigger two identical events, but if I press the button again it will work properly triggering only once.
I have a suspicion the button is coming out of some sort of sleep mode which is causing the button to trigger twice.
I have two of those, and while I have never noticed it, I see in the event history that I have a few double pushes in there. It doesn't change anything for my automations in my case, so I guess that is why I never noticed it.
Thanks. For me it's a problem because I have a routine that sets up to change into night mode. First press causes the routine to go into countdown mode but a second press terminates the countdown and immediately changes to night mode.
Other routines I have uses a button to toggle lights on/off. It turns the light on but then turns it right back off.
It is strange. My doubles are about 1 sec apart, so it is not triggering a doubleTap, which I also use, so it probably is not physically from the button registering two pushes.
I also just noticed that some of my doubleTaps are sending twice as well, but those are milliseconds apart, not seconds.
Does it happen when the button has been idle for a period of time?
That is what is happening to me. First press after being idle causes 2 events but once the button has be activated it works properly, ie. only one event per press.
Have you tried this custom driver?
It should eliminate the double events.
Thanks! I'll give it a try
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
The driver works better than the inbuilt one.
The only thing I had to do was reverse the button order in the device settings, and change routines that used "released" to "held".
I agree, I also just switched drivers. I was using reversed buttons with the built-in driver, and in that mode there is a bug where button 3 is 4 and 4 is 3. Now all buttons work with the correct number when reversed, though with this driver reversed is normal, opposite of the built-in.
