OpenBeken Light Switch: Cannot Temporarily Disable Physical Switches with Flag 41 (Child Lock)

Hi there!

OpenBeken light switch, latest firmware OpenBK7231N_1.18.268.rbl.
All switches are configured as dinput_n, so the relay follows the physical switch.
I sometimes need to lock the physical switch to prevent children from switching on the light.
I tried to use:
Flag 41 - [BTN] Ignore all button events (aka child lock).
But, looks like it does not work. Relay still follows the physical switch.
Is there any fast flag to disable physical switches temporarily without unbinding them in the module configuration?

Thanks!

Well... this is by design. I think you should rather use "Toggle channel on toggle" role, so you have remote control as well, and can toggle relay via WiFi. I am somewhat suprised, why are you using dInput? dInput + Relay effectively makes OBK act like old style switch with no remote control.

If you want, I can make child lock also work for dinput, I see nothing against that, but still, it's suprising.

Hi! Thank you for the reply.
I need that config with dinput_n because I need the relay to follow the physical switch. So, if the switch is on, then the relay is on, and if the switch is off, then the relay is also off. But the same time I can switch the light on/off by automation (HA).
In case I used a toggle, then after the light is off by automation, the light will be off when the switch is on, and vice versa. It's very inconvenient for me.
It would be great if you implemented a child lock for dinput_n.

Thank you!

P.S. It would be useful also if this flag could be set by an MQTT message, so HA could lock the switch, let's say, by the time trigger.

Hi! Are there any updates about that?
