Long press button delay

[trojan-tj1]

Hello! I'm new to using EspEasy. I've been trying to figure it out for a few days, but I can not do anything. My task is simple. There is 1 switch. With this switch I want to operate 2 relays. By means of short and long pressing of the button. Switch is a simple press button. I can do it with the help of this rule:

on sw1#value1 do
if [sw1#value1] = 0
timerSet, 1, 1
endon

on rules#timer=1 do
if [sw1#value1] = 1
...
else
...
endif
endon

But there is a problem - too long delay with a short press. A whole second. And it's very inconvenient. I have read that for timerSet you can not use a value of less than 1 second. I read about the delay function. I'm trying to use it instead of timerSet, but nothing happens. Maybe someone can help me?

Delay will not work since it's essentially pausing the unit until the delay time is up.

Maybe use the new way to directly read gpio :
[Plugin#GPIO#Pinstate#13]
After 250 mS delay?

Hi martinus

Is there doc/info available on that new feature, so that we can update the wiki ( couldn't find a PR on github)? Does this also work on mcp/pcf gpio? Since when is it part of the nightlies?

I think that Wiki should reflect the current stable to avoid confusion. This feature was added on Dev branch on March 7th. It's preliminary work on build-in GPIO only.
Waiting to be evaluated by it's requester on issue:

Does anyone have more detailed information on the use of the new way to directly read gpio? For example, [Plugin#GPIO#Pinstate#13]

At last I managed to realize what I wanted. Nowhere in the forums did not find a solution. Through trial and error, I made this rule. I turn to the experts. What can you say about this rule?

on System#Boot do
TaskValueSet 2,1,1 //dummy variable for long press
TaskValueSet 2,2,1 //dummy variable for short press
endon

on sw1#value1 do //my button
delay 250
if [Plugin#GPIO#Pinstate#12]=0
event,longpush
else
event,shortpush
endif
endon

on longpush do
if [counter#longcount]=1
gpio,14,0
TaskValueSet 2,1,0
else
gpio,14,1
TaskValueSet 2,1,1
endon

on shortpush do
if [counter#shortcount]=1
gpio,16,0
TaskValueSet 2,2,0
else
gpio,16,1
TaskValueSet 2,2,1
endon

My first reaction is, don't use GPIO 16.
