Ui Countdown Timer Switch It's always nice to automate things but sometimes automation needs some flexibility that can be triggered manually. I've created a UI node that is basically a simple switch but displays the time it was activated and turns itself off after a certain amount of time (it also …

I just released 1.3.1 - it fixes the ''on" state when a re-deploy has happened. Both, a restart & redeploy, currently reset the nodes state and the switch will be off afterwards. I can move the state to the nodes context (in a future update) and it will keep its state after a redeploy but definitely…

Wow! Fast! Thanks! That will help make the display consistent. Maintaining it over redeploy will be a useful feature, as will being able to store it in localfilesystem (that's where I'm storing my global -- we have frequent power outages, especially during the season when it is most critical to hav…

I don't mind adding more options to the node, it's pretty basic at the moment anyway. What information would you like to have inside the message besides the already available payload ? I went ahead and published 1.4.0. It now saves everything into the nodes context. It also restores everything aft…

Ha ha. Thanks. Just as I forked the repo and was going to look at creating a PR myself :slight_smile: There are a couple other ideas I have that I'm going to experiment with. I want to make sure they fit into the philosophy of node-red (at least as I understand it), so trying to avoid global state.…

I created a PR adding a couple features for your consideration: Adds a message (msg.topic: "status") to query the status Adds 2 additional outputs: one branch is the status is on, another if the status is off Ability to specify the name of the property to hold the state When querying status, the e…

Nice and simple! I only have one problem with my usual feedback loop: Zigbee lamps are triggered by a switch (or your timer) and when the lamp actually changed its status I get a message back to the switch/trigger.. to toggle the icon accordingly. However this does not work with your node. When it …

hi @haegar33 thank you for your feedback! Not sure if I can follow. As you can see in the nodes help section [12] this behavior is intended. What would you expect to happen after the node receives TRUE at its input?

Yes I would expect that an input of True toggles the icon but does influence the countdown timer. Depends on your scenario and what you intended with an input node? Do you expect another GUI switch attached to your input to control the light manually thus overriding the countdown timer completely ? …

[image] haegar33: Yes I would expect that an input of True toggles the icon but does influence the countdown timer. Since the countdown timer does not have an icon at the front end, I assume that you want to control another Dashboard UI element? Could you provide an example flow?

Sorry for the confusion. Your widget has an icon to represent the switch. Its the same icon which is used for the simple ui_switch node. And same as the simple switch it reacts to the input. However it also stops the counter when input is true. The switch then remains alway on. I hope this is under…
