"Press and hold" to pair does not work for some shades that need it
Hardware
ESP32
Firmware version
v2.4.7
Application version
v2.4.7
What happened? What did you expect to happen?
Hey, found a small issue but one that breaks pairing for certain shades.
The pairing screen reads NOTE: On some motors you may need to press and hold the Prog button but this does not work (at least on some shade models).
The reason is that the UI does not send any repeat parameter to the backend and if the shade does not have repeat frames configured then long-pressing the pair button does not produce real repeat frames but multiple normal frames instead.
The shades I have are operating on 80-bit RTS so the motor expects the repeat frames to have 6 hw sync pulses instead of the inital 12 but long pressing produces only frames with 12 pulses and it looks like this is enough to break everything.
Fortunately there's a workaround: before pairing, configure some "Repeat Commands" for the shade and just tap the Pair button. Something between 2 and 10 worked for me.
How to reproduce it (step by step)
1. Acquire some shades that need multi-frame pairing and which care about the correct sequence of hw sync pulses
2. Go to shade pairing screen
3. Long-press the Pair button
4. Observe utter lack of pairment

I think we have more or less the same issue.

@syko how did you implement the repeat commands? I have the exact same issue, if I keep pressing the Prog button, nothing happens
@otaviobonder-deel try increasing the number of repeat commands in the UI and then just simply click the pair button. That's what worked for me.
