Virtual Button + Button Controller + Dashboard: Release not working

[sdachen]

I have a Virtual Button, using a Button Controller to implement the actions, and have added the Virtual Button to a dashboard.

I used the button interface, specified the button number and the action. All three "Pushed" "Held" "DoubleTap" works as expected but "Released" does not work.

If someone is looking into this, I think there's also a small bug in dashboard.

• If a tile is added with a virtual button using the button interface, the "action" dropdown does not get saved the first time and will have to be added by "editing" the tile.

@bravenel, I have been able to reproduce this behaviour (the 2 issues - with button Controller and Dashboard on platform version 2.3.5.138].

Rule:

Logs (running through the 4 actions one after another using 4 virtual buttons on a dashboard):

The « Release » button command on the dashboard:

In testing this, I also found that the trigger doesn’t get logged, only the action. Shouldn’t it?

Do you have logging for Triggers turned on? These log correctly in my tests.

Will look into the Released issue.

@bravenel

Yes - All logging had been turned on for the test.

There's a bug on the commands for button, can you change the button command on the JSON layout for the button from "releases" to "release" that should allow the command to be sent, but want to make sure it stills work in the complete process.

The bug for the tile button not saving the action the first time is confirmed and will look into it.

Yup, changing the JSON fixed the release command:

Thank you for all the help @Sebastien @bravenel @moncho1138 I was able to get it working by changing the command through JSON!
