Abstract
Systems and techniques are provided for a multi-state press and hold user interface. A state visualization may be displayed on a touchscreen. The state visualization may include a control for a controlled system and an indicator of a state of the controlled system. The indicator may be for an initial state of the controlled system. An indication of an initial touch input to the control may be received. It may be determined that touch input to the control has persisted for a threshold amount of time after the initial touch input to the control. An instruction may be sent to change state to the controlled system. The instruction may be based on the initial state of the controlled system. An updated state of the controlled system may be received. The indicator of the state visualization may be changed to an indicator for the updated state of the controlled system.
