Describe the bug

I manually turn off the backlight of the plate by long-touching an object on the plate mapped to HA's light.plate_4_backlight switch. After the plate changes to short idle, the light turns back on by itself.

If the user manually turns off the backlight at any time, no idle state change should turn it back on.

In 0.6.3-dev you can now set e.g. idle=long on the plate, which will force the idle timer to that state.

You won't get idle short events until manually interacting with the touchscreen or setting idle to another state with the idle command. Previously you could only use idle=off to wake the plate, now you can also set it to sleep.

In 0.6.3-dev you can now set e.g. idle=long on the plate, which will force the idle timer to that state.

Its behavior is different from the old wakeup command. So service openHASP: Wakeup would need an update/rename to maybe openHASP: Idle

[fvanroie]

Instead of only turning off the backlight, you can first force idle long and then turn off the backlight. This way, both states are linked and the backlight will not turn back on since idle won't fire anymore because it is already in the long state.
