Hi all, first to the creator of the chronograph app, thanks for making it! works like a charm:) I do have a question however which I did not find in this forum: is it possible to see the timers/stopwatches/transitions also in minutes instead of seconds? ---

You should use the card “Timer … ended” (or finished). “Timer … is Stopped” is used when a Timer is forced to stop. ---

> [@Yair\_Regev](#): > > Is there a plan for a widget for the new dashboard - to display timers in the dashboard ? Well perhaps, but you can already create a device to show its timer on the dashboards i believe. And for more customisation you can use an Advanced Virtual Device from the Device Capabilities app and use it to show the Chronograph timer any way you want. ---

Hi! Thanks for a great App! I’ve used the Timer function for several years now, but just recently started to use the “Timer has reached a duration of X units” function. I don’t know if I am understanding it wrongly but it appears to me that it is rather triggering when “X units is left on the timer”? Is that correct? And if so, can one implement the option to choose either of them? I rather use the Timer with a set end time than a stopwatch with no end time. Thanks again! And thank you all for this Forum! It is very helpful! //Alex ---

The timer has a duration (time left) and elapsed time. I missunderstood that myself when starting to use it. ---

It’s possible when you create an AVD, and add a text field, at “Reflect” \> select ‘Chronograph’, and select the elapsed or remaining time of a timer. Now select that textfield as status indicator. > ![1000039357](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/5/05cc16c85b440dc96d10964cd20bd777d10d5082.jpeg) BLL expression: ```auto time('D hh:mm.ss', $value) ``` ##### About the returned time format: `D` is for days, `DD` is also possible for timers with a duration of \>10 days When it’s below an hour, just use `'mm:ss'`or `'mm.ss'` Want to show only seconds?

> [@Yair\_Regev](#): > > can you please explain how this is doable? Well, just create a device, select chronograph and pick the timer/stopwatch/transition. (Thats the easy default way, if you want to be able to customise, use the AVD as @Peter_Kawa described). ---

Unfortunately the standard dashboard device tiles are a copy of the app tiles. > [@Arie\_J\_Godschalk](#): > > I thought you could select which property to show on a dashboard tile. Well, with the enhanced device widget (by @Adrian_Rockall), it’s possible to show (parts of) a timer device! It’s very straightforward: ![1000039921](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/f/4f9c242ca1a2cea6f5918fb6147fbe1c17bd2d81.jpeg) ![1000039919](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/b/7bef319ccecd617c4bf21e698c1a74155309d795.jpeg) Time formatting (hh:mm:ss) is not possible. Maybe if you can add a “remaining time” tag to the timer devices, it should be possible to sele t it as status indicator? As you can see, only both buttons seem to be (user) available as tag. ![1000039923](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/5/a58a34eb545a967d86c0ff7d86096cfab00802bf.jpeg) ---
