Double press & hold

It is possible to control another device from remote by using following options:

From version 5.1.6 on, hold button functionality for both the push button AND the external push button was implemented.

HOLD message can be changed with command StateText4.

Command SetOption11 ON / OFF allows for swapping the functionality of the push button.
