@Majestic7979 commented on GitHub (Mar 31, 2025):

Thank you, it's fixed.

While you're here, if you don't mind Maxim, I need to ask your advice please.

I purchased this item:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006209126315.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.11.12141802lDXoxI

I wired the NO contact and the COMMON contact to a switch in a normal KVM, this KVM has a button in front of it that when clicked, switches between input 1 and input 2, so I just soldered wires to the contacts and when the wires are shorted for a moment the KVM switches between the inputs. So I tried to follow the guide on pikvm.org for optocoupler (https://docs.pikvm.org/gpio/) using GPIO but it's not switching... could you please kindly advice/walk me through? Here's my override currently:

The config is fine but this specific relay might be incompatible. Some cheap relays has unique protocols for some reason.
