      @changaud looking at the code there is a field used for a button that is not defined

      activeLow

      can you add this to your button definitions

      after pin:
      activeLow: true or false depending on how you have it wired
      if the signal is high when pressed, then false.
      if it has a pull up resistor then true, it will be pulled down when pressed

      you said your python is reporting high sll the time

        I tried

        {
        		    	module: 'MMM-Buttons',
        			//position: "middle_center",
        		    	config: {
        				buttons: [
        			    	{
        					pin: 5,
        					activeLow = false,
        					name: "test_button",
        					longPress: {
        					notification: "PAUSE_STOPWATCHTIMER",
        				    	payload: {action: "PAUSE_STOPWATCHTIMER"}
        				},
        					shortPress: {
        				    	notification: "START_STOPWATCH",
        				    	payload: {action: "START_STOPWATCH"}
        					}
        			    	}
        				]
        		    	}
        		}
        and I get this error:

              come on…

              when U add a line, you have a trailing comma

              activeLow : false, 
              

              right?

                @sdetweil Yes I do. I think I will just implement it with TouchButtons. But thank you so much for all your help.
