Timeout for each button

[vicfergar]

It would be nice if the timeout affected to each button separatly. Currently, if you press two different buttons at the same time, dasshio addon only sniff one of them.

PD: Btw the addon is very useful it makes really easy to use Amazon Dash buttons within Hass.io Thanks a lot for the effort!!

Hi @vicfergar!

Pressing two or more buttons at the same time is a current limitation due to the method this addon uses to scan devices. I guess it could be improved to filter only the macs of the buttons configured and set a timeout for each one.

I will have a look to it! Thanks a lot for the feedback 😄

Thanks it will be great!

Finally this was reverted from 0.3.0 as there were other major issues. Will delay it for next release

No problem @danimtb you did a great work! Thanks for the effort!

Hello
i discovered today that not only two buttons dont work if pressed at the same time, but also if are pressed in the interval of timeout.

In other word if you press un button, al the other buttons are disbled for the timeout interval (in my case 10 seconds)

Is there any solution to this problem?
my idea is to use many dash buttons in my appartament for different function but i think that in the life of all the the days will be a problem....

Hello
today perhaps i found a solution
-timeout = 0 and two buttons: 1 for on, 1 for off

in config
"service": "turn_on",
......
"service": "turn_off",

i tried it and it seems a solution

@maur54 be careful because this could lead to "toggling" issues if you press one button just after the other. This is the exaplanation:

Amazon Dash buttons are always disconnected from wifi. When you press the button it gets connected to wifi and sends the amazon request to buy an item (this last part shoudl NOT be configure if you are using dash buttons with Home Assistant -unless you want to buy an amazon item too 😆-).

Dasshio detects the press o the button by monitoring the network and looking for devices MAC address.

When a button is pressed, it will get connected to wifi until it goes to sleep again. That usually takes 5 seconds.

Let's say you are pressing the ON button and before 5 seconds you press the OFF one. Dasshio will detect both buttons connected and perform several service calls producing a toggling effect in your light.

Will try to implement this feature soon. Thanks

I've been testing this code for a week and it has been working well: e2m32@34b9580
