Hi,
I've written a small utility called slide-switch that translates slide
switch position changes into normal button presses.
For devices with a (3-position) slide switch, for example the TP-Link
TL-MR3020, the switch is usually represented to the system as two push
buttons. So a change to the switch position triggers one or two button
events, and finding the current position requires reading from two
GPIOs.
Others have shared script snippets for specific devices, but I thought
it was time to create a package that anyone can install and start
using their slide switch without having to re-script the wheel.
I've combed the OpenWrt wiki for devices with a slide switch and have
incorporated their details, but since I only have a TL-MR3020, I'm
unable to verify that the package works correctly on those other
devices. (I may also be missing devices that have a slide switch but
aren't described in the wiki.)
I'd like to make sure the package works on a few more devices before
submitting to the official package feed. So if you have a device with
a slide switch, I'd really appreciate it if you can install the
package and let me know if it works (or doesn't work) for you, either
on this thread or on GitHub.
Home page (with a list of supported devices):

Packages for CC 15.05.1:
https://github.com/jefferyto/openwrt-slide-switch/releases/tag/0.9.0
(Not sure if these will install correctly on trunk; let me know if they don't.)
Thanks in advance!
Jeff
