Hi. I'm doing a multi-input door/windows sensor using magnetic sensors. I managed to get 14 GPIO inputs working and sending MQTT. Is there any change Switch will show the state in the Main Menu? Thank you |

No. The deliberately rudimentary Tasmtoa web UI is meant for admin/test, not so much as "the place" for daily operation, which is generally expected to be done in your backend setup. You could create a bunch of fake "power" channels which would be linked to the switch input, those would get buttons on the front page. Of course, not useful to click those. Since you use ESP32, you could do something with Berry programming formatting values, and injecting into the front page. For testing purposes, the "GPIO Viewer" feature could also be quite useful. |

Yes, GPIO Viewer is perfect for the task. Thank you |

BTW. The correct approach is to always start the index at 1 when assigning gpios to component types, and not skip any numbers. The index is not meant as a number that has any more significance than to control the ordering. |

I understand, but for the task I need, it seems easier to have the same numbers as the actual GPIO inputs. Should I expect any issues by skipping numbers? Thank you |

It makes perfect sense. Thank you for the Switchtext suggestion. Much better option indeed. Br |

By the way. Is there a way to set a Switchmode for all inputs using just one command or do I need to do it one by one? SwitchMode1 1 Thank you |

The docs page says that "Index 0 applies to all switches". I'd try that. |

Perfect, everything works! So when I back up the configuration and restore it on a brand new Esp32 all this (configure module parameters, SetOption 141 1, Switchmode0 1, SwitchText....) will be included, or should these steps be applied for every new device?
I'm sorry for the basic questions. Thank you so much! |

Yes, but .... beware that restoring config to another device gets to be a mess if you do not make sure to avoid duplicate names. The tool decode-config can work in a "more granular" way. |

Thank you. Do you mean this tool? I was thinking more like having a backup configuration, in case one ESP dies, I can quickly restore it to a new one. Thank you |

Yes, restoring on a replacement device is fine |
