Sniffing restarts after every button press

[sholzmayer]

Any idea why the sniffing restarts after each button press? I have two buttons next to each other and I sometimes press them right after each other. But due to this 20sec delay the seccond button press is not recognized...

Hi @sholzmayer, thank you for reporting!

This is a limitation of how the script works regarding detection of the buttons. There is a timeout parameter for useres to adjust (defaulted to 20 seconds) and some users have reported that works nice with 8 seconds but this depends on your network...

Please try the timeout param and let me know 😄

Didn't know anything about this parameter. Thanks for adding it to the Readme 👍 I will check it later.

Btw: Using a fixed IP address reduces the time to establish the connection (in my case) under 5 sec, because there is no time spend to the DHCP lookup.

Good to know! I think 20 seconds was a good margin to stay safe 🤣 Many thanks and do not hesitate to report any issue or reopen this in case it is not solved
