SetOption86 PWM Dimmer toggle with hard buttons

[heffneil]

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

There is a hard button sequence which will re-enable the timeout of the brightness LED's. We have found in daily usage that this combination is very easy for end-users to re-enable the timeout inadvertently.

TO REPRODUCE

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
"Tediore — 10/08/2022
Okay so funny enough, I just did it on another dimmer. It's just really easy to hit both the bottom and middle buttons at the same time"

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
Shouldn't toggle a set option so easily from the user interface (buttons on actual hardware)

This is as designed

Tasmota/tasmota/tasmota_xdrv_driver/xdrv_35_pwm_dimmer.ino

Lines 441 to 445 in 61113e6

	// Toggle the LED timeout.
	if (down_button_tapped) {
	Settings->flag4.led_timeout ^= 1;
	if (Light.power) PWMDimmerSetBrightnessLeds(Settings->flag4.led_timeout ? 0 : -1);
	}

Not a bug but a feature

[heffneil]

While I believe this is, in fact, designed I guess I am asking for a feature request to disable the option since it seems that a couple of users have inadvertently changed the option with the hardbuttons. I would like an option to disable that or make that fat-fingering the option change to be more challenging so daily use isn't the culprit.

[heffneil]

Any update here with an option to disable the physical buttons from changing this setoption? Thanks!

[heffneil]

Any thoughts on this?

[Jason2866]

Moving to discussions as an idea, since it is an feature request.

[heffneil]

Thanks for moving. I guess the feature request is an option to allow the physical buttons to allow the dimming level to be toggled. I don't know what switches others are using - but with the Martin Jerry Dimmers it is pretty easy to toggle this option.

[heffneil]

Guys I don't even use the switches that often but we have a set that people use in my basement and half of them have triggered SetOption86 to ON because of the hard buttons. All I am requesting is another setoption to disable the hardbutton capability. Can we squeeze that in please?
