Minimize action latency in BILRESA. Available from version 2025-12-15
Sometimes you just want to turn on a light and want it wall-switch fast, not half a second later. If you don’t care it’s better that you don’t try these new options, there’s no going back when you notice the difference 
.
This is the story of a single-press in BILRESA told in Matter events, from when you press the button (Initial Press), release the finger (Short Release) around 100 ms later and the device reports it’s a single-press (Multipress Complete) around half a second later.
The driver now allows to expose both the Initial Press and the Short Release for both models if you want to favour speed over double/triple tap.
- Initial Press is the fastest but will trigger with a long press too, so it’s inconvenient unless you just want a quick light toggle and nothing else. Exposes as Toggled down.
- Short Release still feels fast (it’s 100 ms vs 500 ms) and it’s compatible with the long press, so you only lose the double or triple tap unless you manage to create double-tap automations where it doesn’t matter that the short release runs twice. Exposes as Swipe up.
I’m using the Short Release for the BILRESA scroll wheel since the switch is a hardware lottery and the double-tap is not reliable so I just gave up and use only single and long presses. Plus, I notice if a light takes half a second to turn on, now the experience is so much better.
