Button press or analog change should be ignored when OFF

[msn444]

What happened?

When the WLED instance is in the OFF state, either due to UI or GPIO switch: pushbutton presses and even Analog input
(brightness) changes will cause WLED to enter the ON state.

To Reproduce Bug

Set up an analog input to change global brightness. Turn WLED OFF using the UI or GPIO switch. Turn the potentiometer -- the WLED state will switch to ON.

Expected Behavior

If the instance is OFF, I think it should stay OFF until explicitly turned on. Otherwise an errant bump of the potentiometer or pushbutton will cause the lights to come on when not desired.

Install Method

Binary from WLED.me

What version of WLED?

0.14.0

That is by design and will not change.

What led to that design decision? Can't there be an OFF state that really means OFF? I think WLED is a great product and is full of great design decisions, but I don't think this is one of them.

Having a desk lamp with only a potentiometer.

[msn444]

Sure, but that use case isn't precluded at all by providing a conventional ON/OFF state.

My exact application is a desk lamp with a potentiometer AND an on/off switch. I don't want the pot to override the switch.

Perhaps this is more of a feature request than a bug.
