Wifitoggle runs twice: how to fix?

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

Hello, following up the hints in this thread How to turn radios off completely? - #4 by AndrewZ, I'm trying to set up Wi-Fi toggle on a toggle button. Here's my configuration:

# uci show wifitoggle
wifitoggle.@wifitoggle[0]=wifitoggle
wifitoggle.@wifitoggle[0].button='wlan'
wifitoggle.@wifitoggle[0].persistent='0'
wifitoggle.@wifitoggle[0].timer='0'
wifitoggle.@wifitoggle[0].led_enable_trigger='timer'
wifitoggle.@wifitoggle[0].led_enable_delayon='500'
wifitoggle.@wifitoggle[0].led_enable_delayoff='500'
wifitoggle.@wifitoggle[0].led_disable_default='0'

The problem with that approach is that the script 50-wifitoggle dropped in /etc/hotplug.d/button is run twice: one time for button press, another one for button release. Is there a way to fix it?

Make sure that only the “pressed” action is specified.

Hi, I've just checked but there is no defined button in system.

There are two things you could try.

  • add action = pressed to the existing config
    Or
  • remove this config and use the method shown in the example

Hi. Unfortunately I can't use the method shown here https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/hardware/hardware.button#examples since I can't install kmod-button-hotplug (i.e,. "Packages for kmod-button-hotplug found, but incompatible with the architectures configured")

I need to stick to a script in /etc/hotplug.d/button or to something similar to the following one:

That seems odd. What is the output of:

Here's the output:

{
	"kernel": "5.15.114",
	"hostname": "OpenWrt",
	"system": "ARMv8 Processor rev 4",
	"model": "Zyxel EX5601-T0",
	"board_name": "zyxel,ex5601-t0",
	"rootfs_type": "squashfs",
	"release": {
		"distribution": "OpenWrt",
		"version": "SNAPSHOT",
		"revision": "r23300-86bc525d00",
		"target": "mediatek/filogic",
		"description": "OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r23300-86bc525d00"
	}
}

In my current situation, all scripts in /etc/hotplug.d/button are executed upon button press. On the contrary, scripts in /etc/rc.button/ seem not executed.

Consider installing a stable release version (well, almost - an rc).

https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=23.05.0-rc3&target=mediatek%2Ffilogic&id=zyxel_ex5601-t0-stock

This may work better and won’t have issues with user installed packages.
