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

2.7.16.a597230

Description

Currently, in T-loraPager, it is not possible to control vibration and audible notifications separately.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to System Actions -> Notifications -> Buzzer Actions
2. Set to None

Expected result:

All audible notifications (Speaker) are turned off.

Actual result:

All tactile notifications (Vibration motor) are turned off.

Second case:

1. Go to External Notification in the mobile app.
2. Disable vibro and buzzer.

Expected result:

All audible notifications (Speaker) are turned off.
All tactile notifications (Vibration motor) are turned off.

Actual result:

The settings do not affect notifications; sound is only turned off if External notification is completely disabled.

Disscution

1. Clearly separate the Notification Module (Vibra) and Notification Module (Buzzer).
2. Create a setting: System Actions → Notifications → Vibra Actions.
3. The setting System Actions → Notifications → Vibra Actions should now affect vibration feedback from button clicks, while the Notification Module (Buzzer) setting should not affect vibration feedback from the keyboard.

If you agree with the concept, I'm ready to implement it for the T-LoraPager and check which other devices need similar rework.

I opened a ticket a while ago about it and it sadly it was closed as not planned, I even added a notification LED to my build as I hoped I would be able to disable buzzer and vibra motor so only the LED would blink with no audible sound being made. Sadly just like you stated once you deactivate the buzzer in the onboard node menu, LED and vibra go on indefinitely when receiving a message until a button is pressed, ignoring Nag time. It would be amazing if each device ( LED, Buzzer and Vibration motor) could be enabled disabled separately without having to zero the GPIO in the Meshtastic app to actually disable a function. Using a Pro Micro NRF DIY build by the way.
