Hi, not exactly the same, but the following flows I use as an alarm clock: when the alarm goes off a radio channel is played on the chromecast. A transition slowly changes the volume from very soft to 35%, and after one hour the stream is stopped. The transition should not be much different from what you need for your hue light: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/8/585fed26fadf2aed815fe4b275601fae1741693a.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/4/048121dd539ca3b816e90816b8f29650b1ea5175.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/a/aadbd390b5093e0c83b49638e7bb3ba66e2e6000.jpeg) ---

Dank Edwin, ik heb het kunnen reproduceren. Nu nog implementeren op mijn andere wensen en trachten de praktische toepasbaarheid te doorgronden. ^%$##%^\* Thnx Edwin, reproducing this was easy, Now i have to implement it into my other wishes and try to seek other practical applicability on this matter. tips and examples are welcome 😉 ---

Je gebruikt maar 1 stap voor de transitie, dus ergens binnen die 5 minuten zal de waarde in 1 keer van 0 naar 85 gaan. Daar kan je beter 85 invoeren ofsow zodat de waarde in 5 minuten in hele stappen van 0 naar 85 zal gaan ---

He explained the flow above has only one step. So somewhere within 5 minutes the transition starts from 0 to 85, but as mentioned, only 1 step… there for he should increase the number of steps. ---

I’m looking to move my timers/stopwatches to this app. It looks nice, does what it needs to do and adding the Stopwatch as a device allows me to see if there is anything still open like a door and for how long. To make it easy for myself I created a Logic Text Variable with the name for my stopwatch. I used that in the various flows, though when you want to add the stopwatch, it shows the name of the stopwatch with square brackets, like so [[name]]. That is the value that needs to be resolved. I believe this to be a bug. I filed it on github as well. ---

Hi! Thanks for a great app that I use a lot, but now I have got a problem. I try to use a variable as input to a stopwatch. But when I do this, Chronograph crashes immediately when the stopwatch is about to start (a door opens). The variable is set up as a number field. Is this a known issue or can I provide additional information? ![Pic](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/c/6c5ae4347efe1c1e42f892cdc2f2cac6d1593ffc.jpeg) ---

I was wondering if there is a significant performance impact when using this app with let’s say 10 basic timers running concurrently used to start a flow when the timers complete? I read a few older comments about Homey getting slow and even app crashes, but was wondering how it does for most users and/or if this may have been fixed? ---

What a great app. It’s great to work with. But since yesterday I have a problem. Suddenly the app crashes. Is one (2 stripes) a pause. The app does not respond to anything. Not even on a restart of the app. Anyone an idea on how to fix this? Hope someone can help me thanks in advance ---

Have you added timers or stopwatches as devices? Because when I have those I experience exactly the same. Only thing what works for me is removing the devices shortly after reboot. Now it’s stable again. ---

Then you have a device showing the info. Installed it one time to show a stopwatch, didn’t work so well. ---

When a timer starts running, I see the timer between my devices. This timer completely crashes the app. With difficulty removing this timer, also having to restart homey 2 x. Don’t use the timer anymore 🙄 Groeten François [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-chronograph-adds-precise-timer-stopwatch-and-transition-functionality-to-homey/18214.md?page=5) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-chronograph-adds-precise-timer-stopwatch-and-transition-functionality-to-homey/18214.md?page=7)
