Product name
Nuki Key Fob (all variants, if possible)
Summary
The Nuki Fob currently provides three diffrent options (1/2/3 clicks). Please add an option to trigger the one press action only if it was a long press (e.g. >400ms). This would prevent a lot of cases where the 1 time button action is triggered while the fob is in a jacket or a bag with other keys/stuff.
Features
- Add an option in the fob config via app to require a long press for the 1 click button action
- Adapt the fob firmware to provide this functionality
- Only apply to the 1 press action, 2/3 press unaffected
- Disable this by default (=keep current logic)
- As the actions the fob reports to the lock stay the same (1/2/3 clicks), no other parts of the nuki ecosystem/api etc have to be adapted, it only affects fob firmware and app settings and is fully backwards compatible
Reason
My key fob is on a keyring with some other keys, most of the times in my jackets pocket. When I take the jacket on or off, sometimes the button gets briefly pressed by another key or something else in the pocket, which leads to the lock performing the 1 click action (locks the door when leaving/coming home, sometimes with the door still being open, causing the need to manually unlock again.
using only 2/3 click actions would be a downer for usability (I have 1 press for locking, 2 press for unlocking). The ideal option would be to only carry out the 1 press action, if the button was long pressed.
Examples
see features and reson above. I want to be able to
- use 1 key fob press for locking, but with the option to require a long press to prevent undesired actions
- use 2/3 key fob press for other actions as currently possible
- configure the 1 press behaviour in the app when configuring the key fob
As this should only be a small addition in the fob firmware, I hope you consider it to increase usability of the fob
Thanks & BR
