OLED SSD1306/SH1106 Framed: Prevent automatic "step through pages"

Is there any possibility with the "OLED SSD1306/SH1106 Framed" to prevent the automatic step through pages?

I want to control this only by external triggers (via rules & dummy device). This works well, but additionally there is a step to the next page after <Interval> seconds.
- I thought, setting "Interval = 0" will be do that - but 0s is always replaced by 60s
- Next, I tried to assign an unused Pin as "Display Button" - but the automatic step through stays active, too

Thanks

Hmm I don't think so.
We could set the "TimerOptional" value of the plugin in the code, but I don't know whether that may cause issues for people who never set the value. (This is a remark meant for Ton, who is probably also reading this ;) )

For now you could set the interval to an extremely high value.

The interval setting controls the time between page turns. Won't setting it to zero achieve what you want?

EDIT: I see now that trying to set to zero after submit it defaults to 60 seconds. :oops:

Seems like an option setting for being able to do this is a good idea. :D
