ESP Easy rule to enable button

[PizzaChip]

In the past someone posted a rule to enable the switching ON/OFF by pressing the button on Sonoff 10A but for some reason the rule partially works meaning that it turns on the light but then it automatically turns it off after some seconds and I do not understand why....

in ESP EASY v 12 I have the following devices:



LightSwitch is configured as:


Rule is:
on lightSwitch#Switch do
if [lightState#Switch]=0
gpio,12,1
else
gpio,12,0
endif
endon


Why does it automatically turn off I really have no clue...

You shouldn't use "normal switch" mode. Use one of the active high/low.

I tried both and didn't make a difference

That can not work. Try this...

on lightSwitch#Switch do
if [lightSwitch#Switch]=0
gpio,12,0
else
gpio,12,1
endif
endon

I see what you did there and I get it, but still it doesn't work..

[vader]

Can you post all rules and some screenshots of your config?

[PizzaChip]

There is only one rule and is the one posted above, config screenshots are the ones above

The button works, it stays on for approx 5 seconds and then it automatically turns off

Where do you see screenshots above? Have you checked the log, if there is something to see what the reason could be?

You want to use a momentary switch to toggle a gpio

Try this

Code: Select all

on lightSwitch#Switch do
	if [lightSwitch#Switch]=0 
		event myevent
	endif
endon

on myevent do
	if [lightState#Switch]=0
		gpio,12,1
	else
		gpio,12,0
	endif
endon

or

Code: Select all

on lightSwitch#Switch do
	if [lightSwitch#Switch]=0 
		event myevent
	endif
endon

on myevent do
	if [lightState#Switch]=0
		TaskValueSet 2,1
	else
		TaskValueSet 2,0
	endif
endon

or

Code: Select all

On lightSwitch#Switch do
	if [lightSwitch#Switch]=0 
		event MyEvent
	Endif
Endon

On MyEvent do
	if [lightState#Switch]=0
		InputSwitchState 1,1
	else
		InputSwitchState 1,0
	endif
Endon

@danmero: Where is the point that helps him and that we not already posted/suggested above?
BTW: TaskValueSet needs 3 values, not 2!

[PizzaChip]

I tried using the event and it behaves the same, it turns on and stays on for some 5/6 seconds and then turns off
