Quick button push input not registered

[ivom74]

I use the Piface for registrating the doorbell. I first wanted to switch the bell when the doorbell button was pressed.
This takes about 1-2 second before the bell goes.

I now have a 8 v relay which switches the piface Input (1)

Problem is when they press the doorbutton to fast (short pulse) that Piface or Domoticz this is no registrating.

Do a quick click on a button on the piface button and nothing happens(same effect).
I really like if the processing event delay time can be editted for one 1 input channel. Any suggestions?

Did you found a solution for this? It looks like I'm running into the same problem. How did you solve this?

Hi there.

I found that when when assigning pin_type=rising to a PiFace input it acts as a toggle (first push on, second push off), and that every push is registered without any delay by the PiFace/RasPi.
So, you could trigger in domoticz on every rise and fall of the PiFace Input.

In Blocky Events I used this (Note that the dummy Switch has set a delayed-off time of 1 sec) :

In this way DumPiFaceI3 is set to ON on every rise and fall of PiFace IN3 (i.e. your doorbell Pushbutton connected to Input3 of the Piface), and switches to Off after 1 sec.
Then when the Dummy is ON, I set a PiFace Relay to ON, and switch it Off after 4 secs.
Instead of A PiFace Relay you could use anything else.

Here's the input settings in Piface.conf for Input 3 :
piface.0.input.3.enabled=true
piface.0.input.3.pin_type=rising
piface.0.input.3.count_enabled=false
piface.0.input.3.count_update_interval_sec=10

Success !

I already built in a timer in the script but didnt work. I now know why. When the doorbell is pressed it sometimes is 1 - 3 seconds before Domoticz registered it.
After Domoticz/script got the first pressed doorbell button registered the timer works fine.
The question is now why the input of the piface is not faster registrated on the piface. Maybe I have to only zwave products.
