You can add the timer as a device. But you have to push on it to see the remaining time. And the remaining time is shown in seconds only so far as I know. ---

Happens for me every now and then like a counter keeps counting down forever and the app has crashed. Need to restart the app. Then it’s fine for a while ---

Hi, I seem to be unable to use the “transition step” as a tag. Eve. Though the when is the start of the Trans. Hmm ---

How does this app work!? I started a timer and finished it. I can’t find the timer in tags. Why? ![Screenshot_20200723_193031](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/d/4d86dd7cac1a67f8655eb400caf84160717d0d90.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20200723_193104](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/f/9f4b1ee2297b296a11085b8aa65341cc288187fd.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20200723_193125](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/6/a6c99e8cec75140c17018fc900a5b9bc48eba6c7.jpeg) ---

You start a timer, and give it a duration. This can be a stopwatch or transition too. Then you make a new flow. There you add a when card, stopped, finished, etc. You can also add at and. So when it is night and timer isn’t running then do something. ---

But how can I get the tag, like this example? No tag is created when I start a timer. ![Screenshot_20200723_233351](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/2/f27973a46647f898bfa4ce1aa868c9b9ee01b117.jpeg) ---

You don’t. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/6/86ec68514a722efa803a388b23d57f8fbd80a2ca.jpeg) This part is typed manually, no tag. You can see running timers in the settings of the app. ---

Right, never did that, why would you want that? What’s the use case? ---

I have started using chronograph recently. Timers work fine, but I think I found a bug in the stopwatch functionality. To illustrate the bug, I have made three flows. Let’s first show what works. Flow 1 to start a stopwatch ![flow 1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/e/ae30977f1048cb58d99246ee242cce304f0f587f.png) Then flow 2 to create a notification if it reaches 10 seconds: ![flow 2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/0/701756e8d967414aaf5cfd6fcc5363b0d07b25df.png) So after 10 seconds, a notification is created in the timeline. All fine. The problem comes if I change the action in the first flow. I do not want to start or replace the stopwatch, but I want to start or **resume** the stopwatch. Like in flow 3: ![flow 3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/1/01379b67bedc60b8fe4b4e7a5960379beb92a34e.png) If I trigger flow 1, then I get a notification after 10 seconds. If I trigger flow 3, I do not get a notifcation. Between the tests I have stopped the stopwatch obviously, so in both cases it starts from 0. Also in both cases I see the stopwatch is running on the configuration page. Am I missing something or is this a bug in the app? Thanks for your respone in advance. ---

My guess: When you start flow 1 stopwatch starts to count up. When you start flow 3 is stopwatch already beyond 10 s. You can check this in the Chronograph settings where you can investigate what is happening. ---

I’m curious, if I have a lot of timers running, will they continue running after a reboot of homey? ---

I think that the app “countdown” will continue after a reboot of homey 🤔 it would be nice if lights that is on when homey reboots will turn off when homey has booted. ---

No my timers won’t continue after a reboot 😔 but it seems like the timers set to “finished” after a boot but I’m not sure. ---

It’s already a long time ago. But I’m pretty sure that the timer continue after homey restart. By using the Countdown Timer App. ---

No, “countdown timers” won’t continue, they are stopped at start position. I have now tested the app “countdown” and it continues after a reboot. ---
