Front end button release event

Please consider adding a release event in addition to the frontend tap and hold events.

This would allow for automated increment/decrement loops until button release (e.g. volume control).

Any news about this? Alternative custom component or anything?

This request is about core functionality. Start a topic if you want 3rd party functionality.

No there is no news. I suspect it is not possible with the upstream controls the project is using.

This is really necessary to implement smooth volume control, seeking forward/backward on TV remote controls and manual vacuum controls

Bumping this as this would make it a lot more intuitive for any action that uses a start/stop function. (Dimmers/Blinds/Volume/etc)
