Blinds with STOP Button - plus - "lag" field to handle different blinds at the same time with same radio frequency

[frankmrbreads]

Hi,

I successfully installed and configured your homebridge-gpio-blinds plugin

Thank you so mach for that, it’s preatty useful

I was wondering if you could make a new version of the plugin with “a little change"
I’m new in raspberry and programming world and don0t know where to start unfortunately

In my blinds remotes (that I control via GPIO pins with your plug in) I have one more button, the STOP one.
The remote send 3 message, UP, DOWN and STOP and neither of the 3 need to be long pressed.
When I push the DOWN button the blind shut and automatically stop when is completely closed.
Same thing for the UP button.

So I would really like a version of the plugin where I can set the 3rd button to handle a midway stop of my blinds.

I think this could be done using the durationUp/Down time field and calculating the right moment to send the STOP message.

Another really appreciated feature would be a “lag” field to handle different blinds at the same time, because all the remotes
work with same frequency (different channels) and if UP/DOWN/STOP button is pressed at the same time in 2 or more remotes
none of the messages are sent to the blinds.
With a “lag” field I would be able to space slightly in time, different simultaneus messages without having problems.

I know it’s a big request
Feel free to decline

many thanks in advance

I would be very happy with a similar but different extra option: the 'second' click (after open or close) of the button would stop the blinds.
This could be an optional setting: enable stop: true
So if the blinds were closed, a sequence would be: 'click': blinds start opening (blinds still opening) 'click': blinds stop opening 'click': blinds start closing ..... etcetera
