Option to disable (or make more difficult) to Home/Reset

[kg333]

Holding Button 1 for 3 seconds and accidentally triggering homing, or holding button 2 for 3 seconds and resetting the device, is likely to happen with children/elderly/other technologically-challenged people trying to operate the Ropener.

Being able to disable these options from being triggered by buttons would be helpful. Alternatively, the sequence could be more difficult to activate: for example, many smart bulbs or smart switches use 7-10 presses in quick succession to trigger a factory reset.

What do you think about long pressing to set the home position. This allows you to move the curtain to home manually and then hold and set to zero. Additionally, press 7 time to star homing. That's how I used to do it, but with 2 clicks, which I didn't like for the reason you mentioned. But 7 should fix that.

I think people new to the device are going to try to push and hold until the curtain is at the desired position. Any long press function would be triggered in that case. Setting home position on a long press would be less destructive than starting the current honing operation though.

Multiple presses to trigger the sequence would work nicely IMO.

Here's what I changed to the button actions. What do you think about this:

Button 1 tap | Close → 0% (unchanged)
Button 2 tap | Open → 100% (unchanged)
Hold Button 1 | Close only while held; stops on release
Hold Button 2 | Open only while held; stops on release
Button 1 ×7 quick taps | Start homing (replaces the old 3–10s long-press)
Hold both buttons 3s | Set current position as home (0)
Any press while moving | Stops instantly (safety, unchanged)
Any press while homing | Stops + zeroes — now either button (was Button 1 only)

Those look great! Could 7 taps on Button 2 trigger the factory reset?

Could 7 taps on Button 2 trigger the factory reset?

What would you like the factory reset to do? Button 3 (on the bottom) already clears the wifi.

Candidly I forgot about Button 3; that covers the need.

I just tested 2.6.0: button holds to move to a desired position work well, 7 taps to start homing works, double hold to set the current position as home works, and it stops as expected if pushed while moving.

Thank you for the quick turn around!

I also added the ability to update the firmware over HTTP so now it’ll pull and apply new firmware from the repo once you tell it to update. The firmware version and button are located toward the bottom of the config screen. On Jun 24, 2026, at 6:52 PM, kg333 ***@***.***> wrote: I just tested 2.6.0: button holds to move to a desired position work well, 7 taps to start homing works, double hold to set the current position as home works, and it stops as expected if pushed while moving.
