slide-switch translates slide switch position changes into normal button presses and releases for OpenWrt / LEDE devices.
After installing slide-switch, follow the instructions at the OpenWrt
wiki to add scripts for each switch position. Both procd
scripts (in /etc/rc.button) and hotplug scripts (in
/etc/hotplug.d/button) are supported.
Each switch position has a corresponding button name in the form
<switch name>-<switch position>. For example, the TP-Link TL-MR3020
has a switch named mode with positions "3g", "wisp" and "ap"; button
names for the positions would be mode-3g, mode-wisp and mode-ap.
See Supported Devices for a list of switch names
and positions.
slide-switch will trigger both button presses and releases. For example,
if the mode switch is moved from "3g" to "wisp", a release action will
be triggered for "3g" (BUTTON=mode-3g ACTION=released), and a press
action will be triggered for "wisp" (BUTTON=mode-wisp ACTION=pressed).
Note that the timeout action is not supported at this time.
On boot, slide-switch will also trigger a button press for the active
position of each switch. To disable or re-enable this behaviour, run
slide-switch boot disable or slide-switch boot enable, respectively.
slide-switch has been tested with OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05 and should work with current OpenWrt / LEDE development snapshots.

Data for these devices was initially collected from the OpenWrt wiki and from OpenWrt / LEDE source code. Devices where the switch data has been verified correct is noted in the Verified column.
See NEWS.
Beyond code for bug fixes or new features, any help to verify switch data or add data for new devices would be greatly appreciated.
