Shelly-homekit: Bypass auto off.
would it be possible to bypass the auto off, on a double press of the physical switch ?. So it would just ignore the auto off for that session only, if one has been configured.
I use a momentary switch as my physical switch, so a double press would have to also be supported within a time window (maybe 2 seconds).

can you describe in detail how you see it working and why would it be useful?

ie in Garage i have it set to auto turn off lights after 20mins, as mostly that long enough, but some times i work in there, so need longer, it would be nice to press the light switch twice so it will bypass auto off and remain on until i manually turn it off.

i understand your use case but i'd like to see more interest before adding it to the firmware.

es decir, en el garaje lo tengo configurado para apagar autom谩ticamente las luces despu茅s de 20 minutos, ya que la mayor铆a de las veces es suficiente, pero algunas veces trabajo all铆, por lo que necesito m谩s tiempo, ser铆a bueno presionar el interruptor de la luz dos veces para evitar el apagado autom谩tico y permanecer encendido hasta que lo apague manualmente.
Aqara button type ?, that you can create several rules according to the keystrokes, one, two or three.
This would be interesting.

@rojer now we have detached mode which supports single, double, long press, would be possible to add support for this, when in normal HAP mode.

actually, yes, now that we have double press detection, this would be trivial.
but how to present it in the UI? or just make it the default behavior? i don't imagine many people would accidentally double-press a switch. but we need to document this behavior.

maybe via a check box, only shown / enabled on default if auto off is enabled.

not a bad idea. we should also hide auto-off time when auto-off is disabled.

now i'm thinking long press to disable auto-off would be even better.
easy to do, too.
