Have you had enough time to think ?

The control should not display what it is sending - it should be displaying what is set in the control code, Read before write, and only write (once) if the control is activated on the phone. Currently the phone app is sending all the time, which means we cannot overwrite it. If it was reading all the time, and only sending when changed on the phone, we could update the value at either location, and the control would reflect any changes.

Hello, is there a solution in this case? otherwise we would have to deal with a webserver, which we do not want at the moment, because this software is otherwise absolutely top. regards

thats fine for your 'pump-station'
but things, which are connected to the internet may want to change some values over the air or via integrated sensors - and if that happens, you never recognize this in this app.

It is not bug.
Variable is transmitted in one direction.

How use two modes "Manual" and "Auto"?
I want to show the simple project "PUMP SIMULATION".

Ability to set the state of Controls, from code.

Hi,
Currently we can set the color of a Led, modify a Text, etc, but why can't we set the state of Controls ?
Let's say I have a Switch to control a relay, but the code can also take control of the relay. So if the code change the state of the relay, actually, the UI can't reflect this change.
In code words, why are such variables read-only ?
uint8_t switch_1; /* =1 if switch ON and =0 if OFF */
uint8_t select_1; /* =0 if select position A, =1 if position B, =2 if position C, ... */
... and all other controls, except Button maybe :)
More than a new feature to be added, I actually think it's a bug to be fixed
