Hi all,  
Can anyone recommend a alternative for the Stop timer node that will show the remaining time under the node (Not bothered about dashboard).

Thanks, P

Hi, I personally have no idea what that node does.

for those of us that dont know what that is - can you describe its functionality (or rather what it is you want) - there may be a simple way of using built in nodes (or a ready made alternative contrib node)

Hi,  
I'm using the node-red-contrib-stoptimer.  
It takes a trigger and starts counting down, it restarts the count with fresh input. Sort of alike watchdog.  
So I'm after this node but with visibility of the current countdown. I've a few instances where the countdown is over 15 mins, but no way of knowing how far into that 15 mins it's actually gone though...

I have not used any of the stoptimer(n) nodes, but it looks like node-red-contrib-stoptimer3 might do what you want.

Node-red-contrib-mytimeout  
Also counts down remaining time  
I've used it numerous times and works well
