Switch problem when using a push button

[casi99]

Hello all,
I hope any body can help me.
I accounter a problem by the config of an push button.

I have running domoticz and an ESP8266 Version 12 (Olimex dev board and also tried an ESP01). Everything is configured in domoticz, like an normal switch.

If you press the virtual button in domom you can switch on/off the relay, no problem occurred. If you use a push button, on the olimex dev board or attached to an ESP01. the relais turn on and after a while (2 to 4 seconds) off. If you inverse the switch in ESPeasy it will be vice versa .

I already find out that this is no problem of domo, everything there work correctly. The problem is that ESPeasy send to informations: first one by pressing the push button (send will be "1") and when it is released the second one (send will be "0")

Example:

Virtual switch in domo is on and you push and release the physical button the relay turned off --> working correct
Virtual switch in domo is off and you push and release the physical button the relay turned on and after a few seconds it turned off --> thats not correct


Question one: can this be handled by domo with an workaround?
Question two: can be added to the switch list (PWM,Switch) and additional function like pushbutton which sends only out a "toggle"? e.g. first time the pushbutton is pressed it will send 0, second time it will send 1 third time it will send 0 and so on.

To my knowledge, the current input switch works as designed. So if I understand correctly, this is not a bug report but a feature request?

This part is build in R25 on github. Let us know if it solve the issues in your situation.
