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 itâs fine for a while
Hi,
I seem to be unable to use the âtransition stepâ as a tag. Eve. Though the when is the start of the Trans. Hmm
And is the crashing problem still a problem?
No crashes here, love the app
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 isnât running then do something.
You donât.
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? Whatâs 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.
Letâs first show what works.
Flow 1 to start a stopwatch
Then flow 2 to create a notification if it reaches 10 seconds:
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:
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.
Iâm curious, if I have a lot of timers running, will they continue running after a reboot of homey?
I think that the app âcountdownâ 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.
@Osorkon, I guess you know the answer, right?
No my timers wonât continue after a reboot but it seems like the timers set to âfinishedâ after a boot but Iâm not sure.
Itâs already a long time ago. But Iâm pretty sure that the timer continue after homey restart. By using the Countdown Timer App.
No, âcountdown timersâ wonât continue, they are stopped at start position. I have now tested the app âcountdownâ and it continues after a reboot.
I made a âFeature Requestâ on GitHub. Letâs wait and seeâŚ
