I’m trying to figure out the real differences between these to apps before I use them too extensively. I hope someone who have tested them both could help me fill out the blanks. Countdown by Ralf van Dooren are simple but effective. You have to create the Timer variable in the app and you can then…

I was wondering the same. I did find that with Jeroen’s app you can’t set random timers (yet) and I do use that with Ralf’s app.

So i. This example it requires 2 flows. One to start the timer and one when it finishes. Anyone have a simple movement/timer/lights?

It’s under the search button, or here.
