WLED official releases firmware 17.0.0 WLED 0.17.0 button timing settings PR 5844
💡 Result:
**WLED 0.17.0 does not appear among the official releases**: the official GitHub releases page lists v16.0.1 and v16.0.0 as the newest stable releases in the available results. ([github.com](https://github.com/wled/WLED/releases?utm_source=openai))
I couldn’t verify **PR #5844** or establish that it adds button-timing settings: searching WLED’s official GitHub sources did not surface that PR. The WLED settings documentation describes button macros for short presses, but doesn’t confirm configurable timing thresholds. ([github.com](https://github.com/wled/WLED/wiki/Settings/1772b693200dbf269da295162924390f5172b407?utm_source=openai))
So the link between “firmware 17.0.0,” “WLED 0.17.0,” and “PR 5844” remains unverified. The official releases page is the closest source for checking release status. ([github.com](https://github.com/wled/WLED/releases?utm_source=openai))

Defer the Button Timing section until PR 5844 ships.
WLED has no official 17.0.0 release or tag. The latest stable release is v16.0.1, while PR 5844 remains open and unmerged. Users on supported firmware can follow these instructions and find Show Advanced Button Settings absent.
Remove this section until the feature is included in an official release.
Suggested fix
-### Button Timing
-
-_(available since 17.0.0)_
-
-You can change how WLED times button presses. This helps with buttons that are hard to press quickly, like buttons with long travel or stiff springs.
-
-Open **Config** > **LED Preferences**, go to **Buttons** and tick **Show Advanced Button Settings**.
-
-| Setting name | Value Range | Default | Description |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| Debounce time | 0–100 ms | 50 | Ignores button input shorter than this. This filters out contact noise |
-| Long press time | 200–4000 ms | 600 | How long you hold a button before the long press action runs |
-| Double press time | 100–1000 ms | 350 | The longest gap between two presses that still counts as a double press |
-
-On buttons with a double press action, WLED waits for the double press time before it runs a short press. A longer double press time makes short presses feel slower.
-
-If you keep holding a button (except button 0), the long press action repeats. It runs once after the long press time, then again after a 0.6 second pause, and then every 0.2 seconds. This is how holding a button dims the lights.
-
-!!! info
- The long press time doesn't change button 0's hold times. Opening the access point still takes 5 seconds, and a factory reset still takes 10 seconds.🧰 Tools

Hyphenate the compound modifier.
The repository writing checklist requires documentation to contain no grammar or spelling mistakes. Here, 0.6 second modifies pause, so write 0.6-second.
