Widget - Sensor custom buttons

[jkandasa]

@skywatch You have to release and click again and again. Also, handle the logic in your Arduino sketch.

@jkandasa I have thought about that, but it is sooo tedious without a servant to do it for one! - So I will try programming the arduino node to automatically repeat the signal on seeing the command for the first time, then, when volume is as you like it I can send second command that will stop the loop counting up or down. I guess the same would apply to lighting controls that require a button to be held down to dim or brighten lights via IR?

This one may not be performed from the MyController side. Again this should be handled by Arduino sketch. I do not get any idea to implement this one with MyController

I have an idea - what about a option to select whether or not to 'repeat' the command on button push (tick box) and then with a variable to define how often the 'message' should be sent per second.

This needs to be achieved with a way to detect a button push and button release.

But not something to take your time away from more important things

@skywatch Kindly create a request on GitHub page, I will work on this when I get time.

Thank you!

@jkandasa Thanks - But I am the only one with use for this and it is better for your time to be spent on new MyController instead! I can manage with it how it is for a long time

@skywatch Thank you!

Just an update to show that you guys are awesome.... Here is an image of the current setup...

And in case anyone else is stuck with this type of thing, here is the final fully working code.

}

I managed to get most of the ir code #define statements off the arduino and instead store them in the button code on the pi, which saves memory on the arduino for future expansion.

And here is the JSON code for the buttons, the hex codes will need to be changed to whatever you need...

@skywatch Awesome!! great sharing. Thank you so much!

[skywatch]

@jkandasa I've just added the JSON settings for the amp, it was missing in the first post....Opps!

Thank you for making it all possible!
