Alter button status

[scargill]

Ok, so I have a button sending out to a virtual pin - and I get 1 and 0 - all of that is fine… but given that some external influence has changed the state of my device - clearly I can turn a LED on or off on the APP - but how do I tell the BUTTON to into on state (that is with the coloured ring on). I must be slow but I can’t see any mechanism to do that…

Power up condition

Yes, @Lichtsignaal is right. We want it as bad as you all. It seems to be a pretty straightforward thing, but it really requires a lot of work. But once we implement it, it will open huge opportunities for interface update in general. Imagine hardware can change a graph color, or change icon on the button (when we will have icons on buttons of course ) It won’t happen in a day, but it’s gonna be cool Can’t wait to make it happen.

@scargill: buttons and sliders can be updated now. Only those connected to Virtual Pins, but it’s working anyway.

Also, device state can be synced with server when/if hardware restarts:
