Hi everyone,

I'm new to TASMOTA and its console but I am looking to use the momentary switch I've connected to my SONOFF MINIR2 to recognise the single press, double press and HOLD so that I can add a rule that perform something once these are recognised. With switchmode set to 5 and SetOption32 to 4s I am able to recognise a TOGGLE and a HOLD, however I'd like to use my switch like if it was a button.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Regards

A momentary switch is a button not a switch

In my template is showing as switch, but if I change it to button_in I don't see any action being logged when press while so73 is on

Please read this page

Buttons and Switches - Tasmota

 

Unless you say precisely what you want to achieve there are way too many options to guess what you want to do.

Hi,
I've read all of that, this is why I am looking for help here. 
What I'd like to accomplish as explained in my first thread is to be able to have Tasmota recognise a single press, double press and the HOLD for the external switch I've connected to it.
If in my template I keep the switch as switch, when using SetOption114 I am able to see the log showing the TOGGLE, but when I set the switch as button_in in my template and then press it, no action is shown when SetOption73 is on. 
Once I will be able to see what state is returned for single, press and hold I will then create one rule for each state

Regards

The problem is that you have set so many things that it's impossible for us to know what you've done.
Get the device to do the basic thing that you want to do first - switch on and off.
Reset the device and set the relay as Relay 1 and your button as Button1. That will now switch the Relay on when you press the button and switch it off when you press it again.
Then look in console to see what happens when you double press and hold.

What have you got physically connected to the device? You have a Switch1 and a Relay1 both trying to control the Relay.
