2-step countdown (loop)

General
1

Hello,

I ve reated a 2 step countdown (with the help of this forum). Means: 1 countdown runs down and at the end it triggers another countdown, which triggers at the end the first one again.

I am using this to control my pump. The pump runs for x-time (first countdown) and stops for x-time (second countdown). Maybe someone can use it.

To start and stop it i am using a switch-dashboard

I am still struggling a bit to complete it.

  1. I can start the whole countdown-process but cant find an elegant way to stop it. Has someone an idea?

Hi @Manuel_o

It is 22:42 here and I've not had a good day.
(you may have seen a couple of my posts here a while back today like 2 or so hours ago.)

So you want to start/stop this with only 1 button.
I'll say that like that because I don't like importing flows with dashboard stuff that isn't crucial to the workings.

I had a quick look at it.
Why are you using GLOBAL variables?
FLOW should suffice unless the variables are used elsewhere.

Thank you for the answer,

Hope tomorrow follows a better day!

I need the global becauce i want to ensure if my server restarts, every value will my stored.

i use a switch to start and stop (hopefully) my loop

best regards

This may be what you want:

Very slight mod to your flow.

EDIT!

Oh, something I just considered:

Where I put the This is the fix could also be just as easily put on the other wire going back in/on the other way.

Which may be better. But I am not really sure. The hamster is getting tired upstairs. :wink:
(I'm tired)

I do hope it was helpful though.

I fear you have a misconception of what GLOBAL means as compared to FLOW.
Maybe study persistent context being stored in the file system.

The switch is ok to use.
But I can/could offer a little subroutine I wrote that gives you a push button toggle.

Here is an offer to help you with the button.

No promises.

Small part of your flow included to show you where it goes.

I'm not sure with the input.
