Support Press Mode about homebridge-switchbot HOT 6 CLOSED

Maybe we can support press mode in this way, click ON but no state switching occurs.

Could we have this feature?

I think best option is to implement time duration after which the HomeKit switch will turn itself off, such as 5 seconds without sending any commands to SwitchBot. This way I can, or an automation can, always switch ON something. There is no situation when automation doesn't happen because HomeKit thinks the switch is in the wanted position.

There is no suitable service in homekit to support press mode.
Myabe we can support press mode in this way, click ON but no state switching occurs.

Any chance we can see support for Press Mode, so that the HomeKit switch automatically turns off again.

The current plug-in supports Press mode.
Even if the Bot is in Press mode, ON/OFF will trigger press, because the Bot's firmware handles this.
You can distinguish Bots of different modes by their names.

The current implementation makes it impossible to include switches that use press mode to any automation or scene.
It would be great if the switches would always turn themselves back "off" after a predefined time.

Is there any known workaround?

UPDATE:
I found a workaround. Simply use the Homebridge-Delay-Switch to automatically turn of your switchbot switches after a timeout (default 5 seconds):

You will have to use homekit automations to make it possible, but it works quite well!
Only disadvantage: Each Switch will be pressed twice. For many use cases this should not be an issue though.
