Determine short/long pushbutton press from script - edgars - 05.10.2015
In case a pushbutton doesn't have a long press feature or you need to be more flexible with long press time, here is a script which will do the job.
In the settings specify "Send 1" on rising edge, "Send 0" on falling edge. And add the following event-based script:
Code:
resolution = 0.25 -- short press check resolution
longpress = 5 -- long press time in seconds
value = event.getvalue()
if value then
timeout = longpress / resolution
-- wait for timeout or OFF signal
while timeout > 0 do
os.sleep(resolution)
timeout = timeout - 1
value = grp.getvalue(event.dst)
if not value then
break
end
end
if timeout > 0 then
alert('short press')
else
alert('long press')
end

I think the second event.getvalue() needs to be replaced by grp.getvalue(event.dst), else the button release object is never received.

True, though at the time of writing this script event.getvalue was an alias to grp.getvalue(event.dst). Later it was modified to make sure that original event value is returned to prevent race conditions.
