Hardware

Heltec V3

Is this bug report about any UI component firmware like InkHUD or Meshtatic UI (MUI)?

• Meshtastic UI aka MUI colorTFT
• InkHUD ePaper
• OLED slide UI on any display

Firmware Version

2.7.20.6658ec2

Description

Currently, if I set the value of external_notification.outputMs to, say, 10 seconds and then play a very short ringtone, it repeats for the full 10 seconds. This is a problem because if I simply want my node to play a short sound and then keep the notification LED on for longer, I can't do that.

In my opinion, the duration of a ringtone should always be determined by the ringtone itself, not by an external value. Or, if that is the case, that external value should be specific to the ringtone.
