Mode button with multiple presses

⬅️ Go back to main README

Info: This script can not be used on its own but requires the base installation. See main README for details.

Description

This script extend the functionality of mode button. Instead of just one you can trigger several actions by pressing the mode button several times.

The hardware needs to have a mode button, see /system/routerboard/mode-button. Starting with RouterOS 6.47beta60 you can configure the reset button to act the same, see /system/routerboard/reset-button.

Copy this code to terminal to check:

:if ([ :len [ /system/routerboard/mode-button/print as-value ] ] > 0) do={
  :put "Mode button is supported.";
} else={
  :if ([ :len [ /system/routerboard/reset-button/print as-value ] ] > 0) do={
    :put "Mode button is not supported, but reset button is.";
  } else={
    :put "Neither mode button nor reset button is supported.";
  }
}

Requirements and installation

Just install the script:

$ScriptInstallUpdate mode-button;

Then configure the mode button to run mode-button:

/system/routerboard/mode-button/set enabled=yes on-event="/system/script/run mode-button;";

To use the reset button instead:

/system/routerboard/reset-button/set enabled=yes on-event="/system/script/run mode-button;";

Configuration

The configuration goes to global-config-overlay, these are the parameters:

  • ModeButton: an array with defined actions
  • ModeButtonLED: led to give visual feedback

Info: Copy relevant configuration from global-config (the one without -overlay) to your local global-config-overlay and modify it to your specific needs.

Usage and invocation

Press the mode button. 😜
