I always like to handwave that away as "ui problems" ;) We cover a lot with "advanced" panels that default closed. A full settings UI rework was always the plan... |

While I agree that it'd be nice to support build time configuration, I really don't want to have build flags for every cfg file entry -- we already have too many. Plus So from my end: no thank you for more preprocessor flags. A different, generally applicable solution for build-time initial configuration is needed. If you're interested in following up with build time configuration support, a PR to accept a default Re the UI: I'd be happy to leave the button press timing options out on the main button settings panel -- they seem useful to me. If others have strong feelings tha they belong under an advanced toggle, I think that's fine too. |
@willmmiles Thanks for the explanation on why we want to avoid adding more build flags. I'll update this pr to add to the UI and remove the build flags.
I'd be interested in looking over any previous work or discussion done towards this and potentially picking up where others left off if you could kindly point out where that discussion happened? |
WLED_DEBOUNCE_THRESHOLD, WLED_LONG_PRESS and WLED_DOUBLE_PRESS were plain #defines with no way to change them without recompiling. Per discussion on wled#5844, expose them as runtime settings on the LED Preferences > Buttons page. Limits (Debounce 0-250ms, Long press 100-4000ms, Double press 0-1000ms) follow similar timing conventions used by Tasmota, OneButton and ESPHome for the same settings. Long press is capped below WLED_LONG_AP (5000ms) so a user-configured value can't collide with button 0's existing AP-mode/factory-reset hold thresholds.

I don't think there's a clear written record on GitHub. It's come up a couple of times in our team meetings and support channels, particularly in the context of factory configurations for vendors selling pre-built boards. The feature request was to allow explicitly defining a "factory" configuration with any settings (or combination thereof) without requiring maintaining a fork full of source code edits. The basic idea (at least as I understood it) was something along the lines of:
The "best possible" implementation might be to add another minification target to #5274 is somewhat related -- it's about building initial flash binaries with default files -- but that mechanism doesn't survive a factory reset, so it's not really suitable for board vendors who want to offer a preconfigured output or the like. Make sense? |
Fix stuck longPressed flag and add cfg.json validation for button timing Issue: buttonLongPressMs could be configured shorter than buttonDebounceMs, which leaves the longPressed flag stuck set across presses in some configs (the debounce-reject branch on release clears pressedBefore but not longPressed). Fix: Clamp buttonDebounceMs/buttonLongPressMs/buttonDoublePressMs to the same ranges as the UI when loading cfg.json (cfg.cpp). Issue: cfg.json deserialization applied none of the range checks the settings UI enforces. Fix: Clamp buttonDebounceMs/buttonLongPressMs/buttonDoublePressMs to the same ranges as the UI when loading cfg.json (cfg.cpp). Issue: Importing a config template silently skipped the new DB/LP/DP fields, so only the touch threshold carried over and the current form values were kept for timing instead. Fix: Populate DB/LP/DP from an imported config template, falling back to the current value when an older template omits a key (settings_leds.htm). Range changes, on top of the above: - Lower buttonDebounceMs max from 250ms to 100ms - most other button/debounce libraries (OneButton, Bounce2, ESPHome) treat ~50-100ms as the practical ceiling for real switch bounce; 250ms was too generous. - Lower buttonLongPressMs min accordingly, from 300ms to 200ms, keeping it just above the new 100ms debounce max so long press can never be shorter than debounce. - Raise buttonDoublePressMs min from 0ms to 100ms, since a 0ms window makes double-press physically impossible to trigger.

Great, that's very helpful, thankyou @willmmiles - I'll aim to dive in when time permits |
Replace the duplicated min/max literals in cfg.cpp and set.cpp with named constants in const.h, and enforce the invariants with static_asserts instead of comments (long press > debounce, long press < WLED_LONG_AP). set.cpp now clamps out-of-range values like cfg.cpp instead of silently ignoring them, and leaves a timing unchanged when its field is absent from the request (e.g. an older cached settings page). Drop the "(min-max)" hints from the settings page: no other number field shows its range, the inputs already enforce it via min/max, and the hints would duplicate the C constants.
Both usermods implement their own button handling with private copies of the old timing defines (and hard-coded 600/350 in multi_relay), so they ignored the configurable debounce, long press and double press times. Use buttonDebounceMs, buttonLongPressMs and buttonDoublePressMs instead, and drop the duplicate defines.
Repeated long-press actions on buttons >0 (e.g. dimming) were timed against the long press threshold, which was harmless while it was a fixed 600ms but breaks once it is configurable: - repeats used a fixed 400ms head start, so the repeat interval was (long press time - 400ms): every loop iteration at <=400ms, and 3.6s at 4000ms. - the pause between the first action and the first repeat was a full long press time (longPressAction() resets pressedTime), e.g. 4s hold, one step, another 4s wait, then repeats. Once the first long press action has fired, repeats are now timed with a fixed WLED_LONG_REPEAT_DELAY (600ms) pause followed by a fixed WLED_LONG_REPEATED_ACTION (200ms) interval, independent of the long press time. Behaviour of the default dimming at the default long press time is unchanged. The pause now starts from the first action for all buttons >0, not only for the built-in dimming on button 1: a long-press preset on buttons >0 previously fired twice back-to-back and then repeated. Button 0 is unaffected: its pressedTime is never moved, so the AP-mode and factory-reset hold times still count from the start of the press. Releases after a long press are no longer treated as debounce. A release within the debounce time after the first action skipped the longPressed reset, which swallowed the next short press and skipped the brightness direction toggle on the next long press.

Like other static defaults, the initial values should be inlined here instead of #defined. They should not be referenced anywhere else, and they aren't overridable, so there's no value in the preprocessor macro.
If the intent behind the preprocessor macro is to deliberatly break usermods that have copy-and-pasted it, consider mapping it to the state variable instead, eg. #define WLED_DEBOUNCE_THRESHOLD buttonDebounceMs. I think we're still better off omitting it, though.

Done - defaults are inlined and the macros are removed

Is there a reason to omit these from the configuration? I also note you've changed the value for WLED_LONG_REPEATED_ACTION.

I also note you've changed the value for
WLED_LONG_REPEATED_ACTION.
The value change is because the meaning changed – timing at the defaults is identical.
The previous value of 400 wasn't the interval... the repeat branch set pressedTime = now - 400 and compared against the 600 ms long press threshold, so the effective interval was 600 − 400 = 200 ms (hence the old //200ms comment). With a configurable long press that coupling breaks – at ≤ 400 ms it repeated on every loop, at 4000 ms every 3.6 s. It's now the real interval (200 ms), with an explicit WLED_LONG_REPEAT_DELAY (600 ms) pause before the first repeat.
Is there a reason to omit these from the configuration?
I left out the repeat delay/interval (and brightness step) to avoid overcomplicating but happy to add them if you think they're worth it? (I can imagine some people might want to change the speed/rate of dimming).

Since it's meaning has changed (and for clarification), WLED_LONG_REPEATED_ACTION has been renamed to WLED_LONG_REPEAT_INTERVAL in commit: 6c674f6

Thanks! Yes, changing the name if the interpretation changed is a good call.
I do think they'd be good in the configuration too. I've used a button in one project for a "next preset" command, adjusting the repeat timing was helpful there for moving through the playlist.

I approve in general, a few points:
|
The default debounce/long press/double press times are only used to initialise the globals and are not overridable, so inline them in wled.h instead of keeping WLED_DEBOUNCE_THRESHOLD, WLED_LONG_PRESS and WLED_DOUBLE_PRESS macros. Defaults are unchanged (50/600/350ms). Add static_asserts for the remaining invariants: - min < max for long press and double press, debounce max > 0 - the button 0 AP-mode hold is shorter than the factory reset hold: the release handler checks the factory reset time inside the AP-mode branch, so otherwise every AP-mode hold would format the filesystem
Button timings rarely need adjusting, so only show them when the new "Show Advanced Button Settings" checkbox in the Buttons section is ticked, and drop the inline explanations (to be documented in the KB instead). The checkbox is UI-only (remembered in localStorage like the LED "Show Advanced Settings" one) and gives future advanced button options a place to live. The advanced button fields are also shown whenever one of them is invalid (e.g. after importing a config template with an out-of-range value): the form is only submitted if it passes checkValidity(), so a hidden invalid field would otherwise make Save silently do nothing.
Its meaning changed from a head start subtracted from the long press time (400ms, giving a 200ms interval at the default 600ms long press) to the actual interval between repeats (200ms). The new name says what it is, and pairs with WLED_LONG_REPEAT_DELAY.

If you're referring to the change to
My reading is that they're independent: the off delay waits after brightness reaches 0 before switching the relay/LEDs off, and it applies however the light is turned off (UI, API, timers), not just via buttons.
The timing fields are now hidden behind a new "Show Advanced Button Settings" checkbox in the Buttons section.
Done - the explanations are removed.
Absolutely, I'll open a WLED-Docs PR to document them in the KB. |
Replace WLED_LONG_REPEAT_DELAY and WLED_LONG_REPEAT_INTERVAL with the
settings "Long-press repeat delay" (default 600ms) and "Long-press
repeat interval" (default 200ms), 100-4000ms each, in the advanced
button settings. Defaults are unchanged.
The repeat delay must be at least the repeat interval (otherwise the
repeat timing would underflow and fire on every loop):
- the settings page marks the delay invalid and blocks saving
- cfg.json / JSON API / form input raise the delay to the interval
when the settings are read, so the corrected value is what is saved
and shown
Also hyphenate the compound modifiers in the button labels
("Long-press time", "Double-press time").
- Add the "Long-press repeat delay" and "Long-press repeat interval" settings (wled/WLED#5844) to the Button Timing table - Describe repeat timing in terms of these settings, and that the delay can't be shorter than the interval - Hyphenate the compound modifiers to match the UI labels ("Long-press time", "Double-press time", "long-press action")
The +/- buttons add and remove entries in the button list directly above them, so a separator line between the two is unnecessary.
Move "Disable internal pull-up/down" and "Touch threshold" to live under "Show Advanced Button Settings" alongside the button timings. Also add a small gap between the checkbox and the advanced settings.

Code looks good to me too - thank you for the cool contribution!
Show "Double-press time" before "Long-press time" so the long-press time, repeat delay and repeat interval settings sit next to each other.
My pleasure. Thankyou for making WLED! |
