Adding option for manual start push button via GPIO - johnall203 - 2019 Dec 18
Hello, this might be a plugin feature request. I wish I was a programmer. I have done some basic things with Python and GPIO’s on my raspberry pi’s but when I tried to deep dive into your code I found that it was over my head. So, I have my SIP controller in my garage, and I was thinking that it would be nice to have an option to have a momentary push button assigned for each Station on a vacant GPIO pin. So each button would represent a station and if you pushed the button it would manually turn that station on for a pre-specified amount of time. If you hit that same button again then it would turn that station back off or pushing a button assigned to another station would change to the new station and turn the previous station off. Thank you for any help ! John

If you have the Pi connected to the internet through a router with wifi you can access SIP on a cell phone and control the stations using that.

LOL, my wife said the same thing as I use my phone currently. Sometimes I am out in the garage and leave my phone inside especially when working on the sprinklers or doing yard work. It was just a laziness request.
Thought it would be cool to just push a button and it interact with the program. Thank you, John
