Hi guys - looking for help - something I can't get my head around - can anyone help... I've an OPPLE switch which sends "HOLD" as payload then when you let go of the button, sends "RELEASE". I want an NR function that once it gets HOLD payload will iterate an output until it gets a RELEASE in the …

Something like this should get you moving... [734gKy57OB] [{"id":"bcc8bbbf106ec10f","type":"function","z":"f542fe9c.732af","name":"colour cycle","func":"/**** colour list - update as required *****/\nconst colours = [ \n \"red\", \n \"blue\", \n \"green\",\n];\n\n/**** dont change *****/\…

Sorry, just re-read - you want the opposite :slight_smile: [OViUXNbm39] (just move the wire on the colour cycle function)

If that works you are a star. I have trouble getting my head around async nature of NR. I spent decades programming in C :slight_smile:

I just pasted in your code - looks like it will do it if it has an incrementing number in there - i'll go look

Yup, got to get colours and I want several of these but thats the general idea - thank you.

At the end of the day - many thanks that worked just fine once I changed "0xaaaaaa" to "#aaaaaa" :-)- I just wasted hours on this because if you HOLD the button for several seconds to cycle through colours, the RELEASE on the Aqara buttons does not reliably occur. SUCH a shame as this was going very…

How about using the HOLD to SET the cycle process so that a single press changes the colour and then HOLD again to RESET. Should probably have a RESET delay so that if a single press does not occur the system resets to normal mode

Well, Buckskin, you Have started me thinking again - but watch - a short (couple of seconds) hold (then release) and a single click.. [image] Did you notice that double-press event (not singl) after the release. Now watch a several seconds hold... then release - then single click. [image] Did y…

My thanks to all for coming in with help. What I settled on - using the node-red-contrib-zigbee2mqtt input node, after realising that the AQARA RELEASE was not going to be reliable, was this: lets call the buttons A&B. Single-press A turns lights off, single press B turns them on. HOLD A resets sets…
