Saving HA Config Overwrites GPIO Settings

[kevinsaucier]

FPP 7.5 and the latest HA Plugin Update

Configuring a binary sensor in the HA Plugin automatically configures a GPIO pin with the 'proper' settings but, if those settings need to be tweaked, FPP overwrites the settings with every save of the HA config.

Example:

I have a momentary button wired to GPIO PIN 8 with the other side of the button to Ground. I created this in the HA plugin and it automatically populated the settings into the GPIO page's fields using None/External as the type and On on the Rising Edge and Off on the Falling Edge. I admit I am no expert here, but I've found I need the pin set to Pull Up with Off on the Rising Edge and On on the Falling Edge, in order for the sensor created in HA to reflect On/Off when the button is pushed.

I can change the settings and everything works as expected, but the settings get overwritten every time I save the HA Config. Of course, HA has no idea how I have my button configured so I get why it's doing what it's doing, but it's still not ideal. Maybe it needs an 'Overwrite?' checkbox or something when saving the HA page. 🤷‍♂️ Not sure what the best option here is, but I don't love the current one. 😁

HA Config:

HA GPIO Config (this causes the button to report on/off repeatedly)
