Ignore touch that wakes the display?

[Tall-Paul]

I have a 4" display that's working perfectly now, except for one minor annoyance. The screen backlight turns off when idle (which is great) but when I touch to wake it I invariably touch one of the buttons on the screen. Is there a way to tell openhasp to ignore a touch if the backlight is off (other than to turn the backlight on)?

one "trick" is to put a new object on top of all other objects when the device goes to sleep, and remove it when you capture a touch event.

But I agree, we could use a simpler method without any "tricks"

That's the way that it is supposed to work. Which 4" display are you using?

Please check the serial/telnet logs, there should be a message that reads "First touch enabled/disabled" indicating the first press will be ignored.

I'm using the esp32-s3-4848S040.

I think I see what's happening. In HA I had the 'backlight when idle' set to 45%. On this device that just turns off the display completely. But HASP thinks it's still on. So it only sets the first touch flag on a long idle.

If I tell HA to turn off the backlight completely on idle it should presumably set the first touch flag on short idle.

Yeah, openHASP engages first touch only when the display is technically off.
