@EricM_Inovelli already gave the code to expose the hold events and I’ve been using it for some time. I use SmartThings though so the latency isn’t worth it. Like you said though, release is already button 6. In the code below, hold would be button 8.
From @EricM_Inovelli in another thread:
"So technically you could add this into the central scene method (case 2 & break shown for reference):
case 2:
createEvent(buttonEvent(8, (cmd.sceneNumber == 2? "pushed" : "held"), "physical"))
break
This would create a new button event (8). The mapping would look like this:
8 pushed -> top button held
6 pushed -> top button released
8 held -> bottom button held
6 held -> bottom button released
And also you would need to change this in initialize to register the extra button. I will probably include this in the next device handler release. Since SmartThings doesn’t have events based on “released” I’m just parsing the events as another push & held event.
sendEvent(name: "numberOfButtons", value: 8, displayed: true)"
