Okay, it seems to me that the SDK3 update was succesfull, so i have just submitted it for review! Coming up (i’ll first wait for the SDK to be released to live, then i’ll release this into test): The Pause/Resume and (now) start/stop buttons are pushable and the show the status: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/5/b575effd0e56b0cb15a6fad904fff11ded496820.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/b/ab1fe173ae11f34f1d430095b248dd7c34d2f816.png) And stopped: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/e/7e69a061a42e4423682254044975adaf0767ebe9.png) **Now, you can push the start button when it is stopped, and the timer/transition/stopwatch will be started with the last started values.** I’ll release this to Test as soon as SDK3 is live. ---

Hi @Arie_J_Godschalk I’m now in the process to replace all flows that used the (no longer maintained, as it appears now) countdown app. Maybe I might be stupid but I expect, that this step would ‘reset’ the timer to 4 hours, but I see in the app settings that the whole timer is removed by this step. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/c/1c3c55f38f69bbea05940b4bf3aee1d3d58f2a06.png) I basically want always have this timer running, unless none of the 3 when values has changed for 4 hours. So how would I create that with the Chronograph timer? ---

> [@Twan\_Veugelers](#): > > (no longer maintained, as it appears now) countdown app. Just FYI: as far as i know, this is not correct: @ralfvd plans to update to SDK3, but he has a lott of apps that need to be updated and he just needs time, like most dev’s. 😉 @Peter_Kawa do you know (out of head) how this can be accomplished? because i don’t see anything wrong (i assume @Twan_Veugelers that you only use one of the Then cards and not both at the same time? The upper right cards should be just enough. And i don’t see any reasons that it should stop, execpt: if you execute the Start time AND the Update time card, it might be that generates an error, depending on which fires first. ---

Hi @Arie_J_Godschalk . When I ‘test from here’ on one of the When cards, and I have the Chronograph App config open (I see the timer nicely running), as soon as the flow hits the highlighted step, the whole timer is removed. ---

It’s a matter of how one looks at it. This way you cannot ‘by accident’ change a 60m timer into a 60hrs timer. OR You can only change values within the defined timer duration.

It’s also the way one looks at it: In this case, +30mins fastforwards the timer, -30mins rewinds the timer This app is looking for a new developer by the way, so if you know anyone… It is not exactly similar, but I think the issue is Twan wants to extend a timer which is not running. **Timers don’t disappear from the app settings page though, only if you start an other timer with an equal name (it gets overwritten), or when it is not running.** So it is normal behaviour the timer disappears from the running timers overview.

BTW, Adjusting it by 4 hours means ADDING it to the current time. I think you actually simple want the Start Card, this one sets it to 4 hours exactly when you use it and the timer was already running. ---

Okay, i think this is a bug, but i would need to knwo from users: Right now, when you adjust a timer/countdown/transition, it actually doesn’t work as i think it should: it sets the adjusted time plus the current duration: which makes it “finished”? I find it weird. But, I think you want to “reset” the active time to 4 hours again? I don’t see currently how that can be done with a signle card, or you need to stop the timer first (straings): This flow works: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/0/005111e63a6b3eec0f67f7248222f4afabeb8b9a.png) ```auto [TEF:FLOWS:H4sIAAAAAAACA7VUy27bMBD8lYLnbME3Kd/a3vsDRRAsyaUtNJYMSU4bBP73rmSnaAK3Ffo4mZaWszuzM3oSRWyeRGwkFec91JgqWKMyNMYmkMpElYzLFNVc14mNeDe0JG5E5uO0o2HfjxNO4nQjqiwhFpmgibVhEFch+Vz4b26CVb4EwmeQ91g+456Gq0CmOJldNRBkSWAdKohVSjDGaJQhJmu/T/OevtC27bbjSN3YD29eAZ+fihOjTsuV+7eV7u/7Lx1Nb/Nu6Lt+O+Bh9wz34YdH8yUe+NOTaPlNttYkXzQYqwmsLg6SDRUaskjKm6ZIy01nkI/ERPb9m3d5ah9mrUhspuFIy0gsto5VSUSQlCUj2QixuAYCpYK2yKJsmOu+io28EY9io/mnZ9xdv6fHTaGHNtNm1cpultH3hONxoLuJ9gcacJrPeYfdlopYdBHT0G63i2gjExYNaRek0WBzZq6u8ITVVkBpG2ekqSYmccvyxJjQ+aBBYeRC9AlSQg8Fi3EhZ9Xo+oKKkte4rHLOf+ei0WnbILgQ2HXVJYg5JchNckFXL7WJL7nEa1xWmfd/c1lVeObi5IXN7LK5J3aPz/2cc7EQWUBTHViFvJdqPGBh+yuplVJ26ZeVbXyuEapWBmxSmi1dNSD5gjHkEhVd+inlzw1fqoeHw+an4TzLNbWc67uBxuOe7h70RSLkkPWdWKLKGebsX0vgfJefzwk9du20tD0O45LxVSzPw3t/1cbrhz92HX+sLqPnvivtZfp+mgVfpeMtV9e5WvFeI/JaY7YBbGgsJFcRPPKXyqaYOD5z9S+UYfrD+ePEp1V4r7ao/nCN49QfXm9w8Zwnl5PkBDqyiq3bKEAdAyjpskklcBR/S4q5rIK5cHH277j8a0ueTrenbxNM0GSZBwAA] ``` ---

Arie, about the ‘extend timer duration cards’, The card description is using a reversed explanation.

Positive value: shortens the duration; Negative value: extends the duration.

> [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > It should read imho: > _Use this card to adjust the duration of the timer with the provided name. > Positive value: shortens the duration; > Negative value: extends the duration._ Yes, i think this explains a lot 🙂 I wish i could change this, but since it would break existing functionality, i’ll update the Hint. I think this also goes for the transition cards, right? Only the stopwatch is correct about the Hint. If transition is also wrong in your eyes, i’ll change it Peter! ---

Wasn’t finished yet 😉😆 Yes I meant to edit the card’s hint! I expect the same goes for stopwatches and transitions, but I’d better test it 1st Also, useful info: One can’t extend the duration, when the new duration will be longer than the timer’s _original_ duration One can’t shorten the duration, when the new duration will be lower than zero. Seems logical but it isn’t always clear what the limitations are. These limits are also nice to have: imagine you extend a 15 sec oven or heater timer by accident with one _day_ instead of 1 _sec_ ---

> [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > One can’t extend the duration, when the new duration will be longer than the timer’s _original_ duration > One can’t shorten the duration, when the new duration will be lower than zero. I’ll add this. For stopwatches, it’s already correct (it extends the duration). It seems this function was build for stopwatches and sub-supported for transitions and timers. I’ll update the transition and timers. ---

> [@Twan\_Veugelers](#): > > I basically want always have this timer running, unless none of the 3 when values has changed for 4 hours. > So how would I create that with the Chronograph timer? Hey Twan, I felt free to edit your flow so it works like you describe. Note the use of “start and _replace_ timer Netatmo”. This resets the timer to its programmed duration value (4 hours) again, when it was still running while a temperature trigger occured. When the time’s up, and the Netatmo app has been restarted, the timer is started again. Also, use exact the same timer name in your timer cards. Not “Netatmo” and “Netatmo Active”. _Maybe some day @Arie_J_Godschalk can create a dropdown with existing timer names to choose from. But there’s a catch: a new timer must run at least one time to get ‘known’. So this idea might be impossible_ ![Screenshot 2022-10-27 at 02-59-14 1.HomeyPro Peter](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/3/b397f4a49dcd8bcda9b9cc1b0a49de368e0d04e2.png) ```auto [TEF:FLOWS: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] ``` ---

So this idea might be impossible No, that is not really needed, take a look at Advanced Triggers where it is also just read from the given/selected arguments. If you have a flow and you save it, the apps gets a noticifation with the arguments you picked. And in the dropdownlist that some arguments have; i can return your query/what-you-typed. This is how Advanced Triggers works, i hope to add it to CountDown (if i may), and now it may look that BetterLogic is gonne get it too… Stay tuned 😛 ---

@Peter_Kawa , thank you, that did the trick. ---

> [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > But there’s a catch: a new timer must run at least one time to get ‘known’. So this idea might be impossible There is just one other catch about this: i cannot just change a text-field-argument to a dropdownlist-argument. It will break current flows. What i could do tho, is the exact same thing as Advanced Triggers: Show a optional dropdownlist AND a optional textfield. This would keep existing flows intact and also gives the options of a dropdown. ---

> [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > Note the use of “start and _replace_ timer Netatmo”. Funny, i didn’t see that one, i was searching for it below the other one, but it’s on top… Silly me.
