Configurable Button Actions for omi ($1000)

[smian1]

Description

Users need more flexibility in how the omi button interacts with their workflows. Currently, the device offers limited preset actions, but allowing users to assign custom actions to specific button interactions (single press, double press, long press) would provide much greater usability and customization.

By enabling users to configure button actions through the app, the device becomes adaptable to individual preferences and enhances integration with external workflows or apps.

Challenges

• Limited preset actions: Users can only perform a few fixed actions with button presses (e.g., power off).
• Lack of customization: Different users may have unique needs for how they want the button to function.

Proposed Enhancements

Configurable Button Actions

1. User-Configurable Press Types:

   • Allow users to assign actions to the following button interactions:
     • Single press

     • Long press

2. Examples of Configurable Actions:

   • Power Off: Turn off the device.
   • End Active Conversation: Process and save the current conversation.
   • Mute Microphone: Temporarily mute the device.
   • Trigger App Action: Interact with chat by talking.
   • Custom Commands: Execute a user-defined command in the app.

3. User-Friendly Configuration Interface:

   • Provide a settings page in the app where users can configure actions for each button press type.
   • Include options to preview or test assigned actions before saving.

Optional Enhancements

• Default Configurations: Offer a set of default configurations for easy setup (e.g., single press = power off, double press = end conversation).
• Advanced Users: Allow power users tointegrate the button actions with their custom Apps
