Beeping even when mute button pressed

[tramcrazy]

When I press the mute button on the HAT to stop the beeping, it often starts beeping again a few seconds later. Sometimes, I have to press the mute button three times to make it stop beeping, and often it'll start again after an undetermined amount of time. Is this a 'feature' or a bug?

This is a feature, if the soil is dry enough that it gets to the alarm level then it'll incessantly beep until it's watered again.

Perhaps it should silence until the level crosses above the alarm level (plus some buffer) and drops back below again 🤔

Right now the only condition for triggering the alarm is that the saturation has fallen below the warning level:

grow-python/examples/monitor.py

Line 773 in bc5fec5

if sat < self.warn_level:

IIRC (it's been a while since I touched this code!) pressing the alarm button twice will silence the alarm outright.

[tramcrazy]

Yes, having it silence until it goes above the alarm level sounds like a good idea. Perhaps I'll leave this issue open for now (unless you want to close it) so that people know about this.

Sure leave it open, I've added to my TODO list.
