Chronograph timers in AVD tile

Hi,

Would it be possible with a script to show active timers of Chronograph in a tile?

Like if there is 1 timer active, this will be shown.
If there is 7 active timers, this will show?

I see now that I am not able to even show one of the timers in an AVD :thinking:

Do you mean you want to show the active amount of timers in the Device Tile?

Yes, I would very much like that if possible :blush:

And if it is possible also the time that the timer is running (in a tile.)
So you can see, for example, how long the front door was open, if you have made a flow with a timer.
If this already asked and was not possible, sorry for asking again.
And maybe this is already possible I have missed it.

In the meantime you could do that this way, Mike:

Ill look onto it.

Please create a feature ticket at the support link in the app store.
Thanks!

Okay @Mike1233 @Peter_Kawa and @Tirrazo,

I just thought of the solution and created a ticket my self.
What we need is triggerflowcards that trigger each x [period] during when a timer/stopwatch/transition is running.
Kinda like the ones below, but not a one-type-trigger, but on interval while running (we already have started and stoped flowcards).

You could then set a Flowcard to trigger each 1 second that a Timer/Stopwatch/Transition is running.

As I was playing with it, @PV2134 had a similar question, and also wanted to know if displaying a timer value by a slider is possible.
It is, with the Device Capabilities app and the Chronograph app.

(note, the .gif recording is not realtime)

(note, the conversion to hh:mm:ss is not needed for a 30s timer ofcourse, I use it for timers in the hour range)

Cool solution @Peter_Kawa ! Would love to see that as a AVD template!

Hello Peter, I like your solution.
There are only some questions I have that belong to the shared device.
In the web app I see the status. In the moble app I dont see the status. And ther is no difference in stating yes or no.
What do I miss here.
Next question is, is there a way to get the value of the slider?
The idea is to set the the timer on the setting of the slider.

Thanks Dietrich,

The mobile app often doesn’t show (your new) the status field by itself. In these cases, you’ll have to pick the status indicator yourself.
Sometimes you also need to enter some other zone and go back to ‘activate’ it.

Ah, had a hard time what you meant with this, but suddenly I got it. You meant setting the Optionally update mobile app to Y or N in the flowcard

Not needed anymore, in this case :wink:
I use the sick function “Reflect” which works without flows.

You can tick the box “create tag”, and then the value is available in flows. You can see it in the examples below

Ha, that made me think of this AVD (made possible by Arie :facepunch: ):

Thank you, that is nearly what I was thinking about.

I think I haven’t seen this solution here.
I wanted to show my remaining time of a chronograph timer in an AVD tile in HH:mm:ss format.

So I used the Text field option in AVD, with the cool reflect option to include the chronograph timer and combined that with a BLL function named duration that transform the milliseconds chronograph value into the text string format HH:mm:ss.

AVD setting:

Try to enter just this in the BLL expression field:

Or maybe this works as well:

Both seem to work… Simpler than my method :slight_smile: Thanks @Peter_Kawa

You’re welcome. Not to ‘know better’ or such, but I just wanted to show BLL has so many possibilities.
