Multiple push patterns #101

Open mclever opened 1 year ago

mclever commented 1 year ago

Is there a way to send two different on and off push sequences?

For example I have a button that when pushed 3 times it means on, 2 times means auto and then the off command is either 2 or 3 pushes depending on what the first on sequence was.

Thanks

I think the latest bot firmware supports 3 modes. I haven't tried the new 'custom' mode yet though or how it interact with my code

modes : switch, press, custom

if you set the mode to custom you can define a number of pushes for on and a number of pushes for off.... I think

If you want to try that out and let me know if the esp32 shows a bot with setting 'custom' if it shows as press mode or switch mode from the esp32. If it shows as 'switch', then it should just work I think. If it shows as 'press' then I'll need to make a minor change in the esp32 code do that custom and switch are both seen as switch

I think that would be the easiest way to support it and would save more battery. only one command would be sent to the bot instead of multiple
