Add or make a Pushbutton (Taster) on mobile-frontend

---

Hello
I’m new here and have concerned me for a few weeks with Pimatic.

Have already searched a lot, but find no approach witch help me with my problem …
I want to integrate a pushbutton (Taster) in the mobile frontend witch switch me a relay, as long as I hold this pushbutton (Taster) pressed.

Sorry if I’m perhaps 10 times stumbled upon it and it should not have seen.
And sorry for my bad english

Thank you

Guess this is not possible. You could use a buttons device and rules and define buttons for different time values instead.
Anybody else with another idea?

@leader21 I don’t think this has been implemented yet. It should be relatively easy to implement using mouseup/mousedown and touchstart/touchend events. My suggestion is to move this thread to Feature Requests.

@Masterplayer As a work-around my suggestion is to use a ButtonDevice with an “ON” and “OFF” button.

Ok, moved to feature request

something similar: http://forum.pimatic.org/topic/263/hold-button-and-repeat-signals

Thank you for the quick response.

I must have a pushbutton because I want to dimm the lights in my rooms.
now i have relays and pushbuttons in my house with wich i can dimm my lights.
when i push quick on the switches (Taster), i turn on/off the light.
When the light is on and i hold the button pressed, once the light dimm down, when i hold the button pressed the second time the light dimm up.
Now i want to realized it with pimatic, so i need a pushbutton in the mobile-frontend.

Nothing new about this request???

It begin to be urgent for me…

Tahnk you

Hello,
What sort of switch do you use?
I have a dimmer of kaku. You can use a rfswitch device with ON/OFF or a dimmer device. Then you get a slider. What i did was make a buttondevice with 2 buttons DIMMER ON and DIMMER OFF. Then make a rule WHEN PUSH BUTTON DIMMER EN TURN ON RFSWITCH. Make also a rule for button DIMMER OFF. WHEN PUSH BUTTON DIMMER OFF THEN TURN RFSWITCH OFF. The first time when you push the dutton DIIMER ON the switch will go on and the second time the dimmer wil dim.

I have a conventional wiring in the house with pushbutton and latching switches. Therefore my Pimatic runs parallel to my Homeautomation with a Pi2 and an Arduino Nano with 433Mhz transmitter to wireless relay modules. Therefore I always have to send a short pulse to the relay to appeal to the impulse switch. Also I have installed dimmer and for that I need the key function for as long as I push the button the Eltako dims

Ich habe eine konventionelle Verdrahtung im Haus mit Taster und Stromstoßschaltern. Somit läuft mein Pimatic parallel zur Hauinstallation über einen Pi2 und einem Arduino nano mit 433Mhz Transmitter zu Funkrelaismodulen. Daher muss ich immer einen kurzen Impuls zu den Relais schicken um die Stromstoßschalter anzusprechen. Auch habe ich Tastdimmer verbaut und dazu brauche ich die Tastfunktion denn solange ich taste dimmt der Eltako

Hello,

I have the same wiring in my house as Masterplayer: pushbutton and relais/switches. Short press toggles a light, long-press dims the lights up/down.

Can I create the same behaviour in pimatic?

I’m fairly new to pimatic, but it looks great!

Hi Guys,

this topic is something older, but I’ve now the same problem.
Any updates / solutions to this? Need also to trigger latching switches Eltako ''Stromstoßschalter".
My initial idea was to use a relay board and to activate the relay (close/open the contact) with a pimatic rule for 1 second or so. But I don’t have the issue with the dimmer…

well, there has not been any implementation of a pushbutton yet.

In my opinion the switch has a pushbutton kind behaviour, if I press and swipe the switch, it moves back to its initial state if I release.

Together with some rules you probably could implement the kind of behaviour that you want
