Thanks for your time! This is the BBL string: time(‘Dd h:mm:ss’, $value) Do I have to change that? ![IMG_2434](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/4/24d30ce90dea3c5319e2190e4cefa1190bc06788.png) ---

Well, that seems alright, altho the lowercase d should be between 2 double quotes: `"d"`. But yeah, the coding looks alright, straigns that it doesnt work correctly. ---

Solely about the format in the Chrono app settings timer overview: ![Screenshot_20230601-160133_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/6/66d70cfc450157380e9b94e50eebba792416d541.jpeg) I think your timer with a duration of 25h is shown as 1 day 1 hour, just for readability. In the end it’s the same value. ---

Yes, in the app itself, it is indeed 1 day, 0 hours, 59 minutes and x seconds. In the advanced device reflection, it is shown as (see picture below). That was my confusion ☺ ![IMG_2431](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/9/c99abc1abf41fad4ed93538d732d46ba3ba13548.jpeg) ---

Please create a ticket. I might have the split line for day (in effect) on 24:59 instead of 23:59. ---

@Arie_J_Godschalk Newbe question, apologies, but how do you actually create a timer? If on my Homey Pro 2023 go to Devices → New device-\> Chronograph → Timer (For example) → Install → It says “No new devices found” Using Chronograph v2.0.12 Thanks for the help! P.S. If i do it trough a flow → then → Chronograph → Start or replace timer → it asks me to choose a type, which there are no items to choose from **Update** Never mind, appareantly you can just type your name there and it’ll create it. I was off guard by it saying “No results found” and stopped there 🙂 ---

This timer will prevent the flow to put out the sunscreens within 45 minutes. However, when the timer is running, the flow is executed even though I check on ‘timer loopt niet’. ---

This is very straings, because the condition card works fine for me. Just tested/created a flow which is about the same, and for me it goes like expected. ---

@Kringloper Do you have more flows to show? Because zonnigVolgensZonnepanelen is changing both ways of course. From 200W to 2600W and from 2600W to 2500W is also changing. ---

Could you startup the timer (by hand or whatever) and than press the test in the flow you shared and send a printscreen? I wonder how it looks if you test it by hand, which cards go green etc. ---

Oke, strange. The flow stops at the timer check (red exclamation mark) when running the flows (so that is how it is to suppose to do - and therefore not strange 😉). But somehow, the then clause (logging on timeline) was executed sometimes even though the ‘and’ conditions were not met. Since the timer check was the first in line, I figured that that functionality was causing the the problem (sorry). Still no clue why it is running the then clause when not expecting. Maybe a restart will help. Anyway, thanks for your support and I will investigate some more. ---

🤭 system was right. My son was rebuilding my flow into an advanced flow (made a mistake and forgot to mention that he had done this). And because he was using the same logging message, I didn’t see it (browsing an advanced flow on a mobile is really hard to do). ---

@Arie_J_Godschalk I think there is a timer listed in the configuration page of the app for which I’m quite sure its not used. It doesn’t have a date/time mentioned as well. I alrready checked all my flows but was wondering: - is there a way to be sure it’s not used? - is there a way to remove it from the list on the configuration page? thanks for your response. ---

> [@Walter\_vande\_kerkhof](#): > > . I alrready checked all my flows but was wondering: Well, you can use the Device Capabilities apps flowcard: Get Flows containing \*\*\* and search for chronograph to find all flowss containing chronographs.

@Arie_J_Godschalk thanks! Using Device Capabilities worked. It was in a flow which I skipped because I was sure (☹ ) that there were no timers in it. ---

Just a quick one - timers do not support bindings with devices, like in Timers app, correct? Eg. Start timer for device - when started, it’s automatically on, when finished, device get off. So no Start/Stop flows/triggers for devices are required. Just looking for potential replacement or Timers and Countdown apps… [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-chronograph-adds-precise-timer-stopwatch-and-transition-functionality-to-homey/18214.md?page=27) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-chronograph-adds-precise-timer-stopwatch-and-transition-functionality-to-homey/18214.md?page=29)
