In the bottom flow you stop (also reset )the stopwatch.
So when you later read out the value it will always be 0:00:00
You should pause; read out; save; stop
You are probaly right about that, but i did not get a timeline notification. Not even with 0:00:00 so for some reason it doesnât send any data
After you stop a stopwatch it is not possible anymore to retrieve the run time. As such that card will fail (the error will state that the stopwatch is not running) and the next card (posting a timeline message) is not executed.
In the first screenprint there are two cards âpause stopwatch uienâŚâŚ.â That suggests that there are at least two stopwatches starting with âuienâŚ.â But when you type âuiâ in the searchfield no existing stopwatches are listed. Apparently the stopwatches donât exists
Try to create the stopwatch again: select a new âstart stopwatch-cardâ; fill in the name in the choose-field; select new. Save the flow. Start the stopwatch with the new card. Check if the stopwatch is running in the Chronograph-app settings. If so try to pause the stopwatch. Check in the app-settings whether the stopwatch is paused. If not, delete that card and recreate a new pause-card. And so on.

Shouldnât it be that the first card with for example Uien has made in the field ânaamâ. When that is done and you want to use that stopwatch, then you have to choose in the other card for âKiesâ.
(Or this is changed in a update that i do not remember).
For new stopwatches it suffice to use the âkiesâ-field only and select new. The ânaamâ-field is still there to keep cards that where created long ago working.

everyone thanks for the responce.
i changed the flow and lets see if i get a notification at the end of November.
Hello, Im new to this app so I have a question. When trying it out to see how it works i made a flow that will/should trigger every 10sec. Just to se how/if it works. But it never triggers. I can see the timer in settings restart every 15sec, over and over but no messsage to me. Should it be anything in pick? what does it mean? Am I doing wrong? Both âstart/stopâ are the same.
Not sure what this âStart/stopâ is in this context, but I think the idea is to give the timer a name of your choice, for instance âRECO watchdogâ.
Itâs a matter of taste perhaps, but for a use case like this I think a timer with a preset duration is more natural than a stopwatch. When the top flow is triggered it will set or replace the timer to a duration of for example 20 seconds and the bottom flow would be triggered when the timer is finished, which ideally should never happen.

To create a stopwatch I follow this procedure:
Select the THEN-card âstart stopwatchâ from the list.
In the âchooseâ-field type in the desired name
select ânewâ
Save the flow and start the card by rightclicking and select start flow from here.
(Check whether the stopwatch is running in the Chronograph-app settings)
After this I select the appropriate trigger-card. In the choose-field I select one of the existing stopwatches.
I leave the ânameâ-fields empty.

Indeed, Wim, these ânameâ fields are a leftover from the previous developer.
Arie took over the Chronograph app and added the clever âcreate & pickâ field.
The name field only exists to not break existing older flows.
And it gives the ability to use tokens in the âthenâ cards
