Ich möchte einen bestehenden Countdown vor dessen Ablauf Abbrechen bzw. Löschen.
Dies hat mit der vorherigen Version (ich glaub es war V1.2.0) auch bestens funktioniert, so wie in der Doku beschrieben:

How to delete countdowns
You can delete a countdown with the sendto. Therefore, send just the name with sendto to the adapter, and the countdown will be deleted automatically.

also dann so:

Seit V1.2.3 funktioniert dies nicht mehr!
Kommando kommt an, es tut sich aber nichts:

auch ein Setzen der Zeit auf '0' durch 'addminutes' bringt nicht das gewünschte Ergebnis:

Oder gibt es eine andere Möglichkeit, einen Countdown abzubrechen?

Hallo,

ich habe bei 2 Geburtstagen (mehr habe ich nicht im Adapter) vor ".inWordsLong" eine Leerstelle wenn ich die verbleibende Zeit bis zum Geburtstag berechne.
Wenn ich das Alter berechne, habe ich diese Leerstelle nicht.
Unter den Objekten sieht man die Leerstelle nicht, wenn man den DP aber öffnet sieht man es.

Andere DPs habe ich nicht überprüft, ist mir gtade in meiner Visualoaufgefallen.

Adapterversion 2.1.0

Hi,

the new js-controller 2.0 will come into latest repository in the next days and we want to make sure that all adapters are working well. We already did a 2 weeks Beta test and so some adapter were aleady checked and some needed slight adjustments.

You can find more information in ioBroker/ioBroker.js-controller#482 and in the ioBroker Forum. If you have more technical questions please write in the referenced issue or in the Developer thread please. General questions are best in the genral thread.

Please update your systems to js-controller 2.0 and check your adapter.

Please close this issue once you have checked your adapter or received successfull reports from users.

Thank you very much for your support. Please contact us in the other Threads or Forum on any question.

Hi, it looks like you are using @alcalzone/release-script to manage your releases.
When updating to the latest version, you need to remove the following line from your .github/workflows/test-and-release.yml if you want the releases to keep working:

  deploy:
    # Trigger this step only when a commit on master is tagged with a version number
    if: |
      contains(github.event.head_commit.message, '[skip ci]') == false &&
      github.event_name == 'push' &&
-     github.event.base_ref == 'refs/heads/master' &&
      startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/v')

It may also look like this one:

  deploy:
    # Trigger this step only when a commit on master is tagged with a version number
    if: |
      contains(github.event.head_commit.message, '[skip ci]') == false &&
      github.event_name == 'push' &&
-     github.event.base_ref == 'refs/heads/main' &&
      startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/v')

Hallo,

eine kleine Idee für dich. Für Eltern, wie mich, ist es manchmal wichtig zu wissen wie Alt das Baby ist. Kannst du ggf. eine Funktion einbauen wo es kein Countdown ist sondern ein "wie lange ist es her"? Sprich ich gebe das Geburtstag des Kindes ein und er sagt mir es ist 6 Monate und 5 Tage alt oder es ist 1 Jahr, 6 Monate und 7 Tage alt?

Beispiel: https://www.hallo-eltern.de/wochenrechner/

The output of the counter is two hours to late.
As example:

Object ID:
Name "Test"
Date "17.08.2022 17:00"

Actually date & time at me:
16.08.2022 16:29

The ouput of "countdown.0.countdowns.Test.inWordsLong" = 1 Day 2 Hours 30 Minutes

Hi,

wenn ein neuer Countdown mit "SendTo" erstellt wird, werden die zugehörigen Objekte erst nach einer Minute erstellt und nach einer weiteren Minute mit Inhalt befüllt.
Falls der Countdown bereits vorhanden war und nur neu gestartet wird, dann dauert es dennoch eine Minute bis zur Aktualisierung der States.

Da die States in der Vis genutzt werden, wäre es klasse, wenn sofort nach Start des Timers, die Inhalte der States gesetzt werden. Wäre das möglich?

Danke

I really like the adapter - easy to understand and simple to use!
I am displaying the JSON and HTML table in Jarvis (Visualisation) but the tables do not have headers.
Would it be possible to add the header names into JSON and HTML?
At the moment it is just showing numbers.

Thanks

If you want to start a countdown between midnigth an 0:59 it is noch possible. You get an error message.

Hallo,
ich habe gestern den Adapter auf die 2.2.0 gehoben.

Jetzt ist der State "inWordsLong" nur noch mit Tagen befüllt. Vorher waren die Stunden und Minuten ebenfalls in diesem Feld mit integriert. Den Countdown habe ich schon neu angelegt, aber ohne Erfolg.

Bug oder Feature?

Die Möglichkeit, einen laufenden Timer zu ändern ohne ihn vorher löschen zu müssen wäre klasse.

derzeit wird ein Countdown durch z.B. 'addminutes' auf eine Ablaufzeit von 'jetzt' + 'addminutes' gesetzt, d.h. ein countdown wird im Prinzip komplett neu gesetzt.

Es wäre schön, eine Möglichkeit zu haben, z.B. Minuten zu einem bestehenden Countdown zu addieren. Sprich: der Countdown läuft dann bis zu seinem bereits gesetzten Zeitpunkt plus die neu hinzugekommene Zeit.

Danke!

We have detected that your adapter supports the compact mode. Please use the latest js-controller 2.0 and verify that everything works.

@iobroker/adapter-core is a direct dependency of this project, and it is very likely causing it to break. If other packages depend on yours, this update is probably also breaking those in turn.

Dear Adapter developer,

with js-controller 3.2 and js-controller 3.3 some additional checks were added to make sure that created objects match to the specifications and also written state values match to the object definition.

If something is not correct this is logged as 'warning' or 'info' log.

Please take the time to verify your adapter by ideally starting with a fresh instance and do some actions and verify the log. If you see a warn log there from these checks please adjust the adapter and fix the relevant cases.

For questions please refer to ioBroker/ioBroker.js-controller#1301

Additionally we are preparing Admin 5 which will have a completely rewritten UI. Please install Admin 5, activate that new UI and verify that the configuration of you adapter works as expected also there.

More informations on Admin 5 can be found in Forum https://forum.iobroker.net/topic/44282/test-adapter-admin-5-0-x-alpha-der-neuen-ui

Wenn ein Einmal-Timer erstellt wurde, dann wird der reached-Zustand beim erreichen auf true gesetzt. Wenn allerdings eine weitere Minute vergangen ist, dann geschieht das gleiche nochmal, alle Events die diesen Zustand aboniert haben, werden erneut ausgelöst. Lässt sich das umgehen?

There is a fault in the calculation:

countdown date: 01.05.2025

Is shows a time of: 2y 1m 4d.

with js-controller 4.0 object definitions are now also checked that min/max in only provided for number/mixed objects and that the type of the default value matches to the object type.

If something is not correct this is logged as 'warning' or 'info' log.

Please also make sure to update to the lastest @iobroker/testing dependency 2.5.4 or to accept the PR from Apollon77 for legacy testing!

Ich fände es super, wenn der Adapter um Sekunden erweitert wird damit ich dann auch sehr kurze Timer oder genaue Timer damit nutzen kann.

Hey, danke für deinen tollen Adapter! Ich lasse die Countdowns über ein Blockly-Script nach Rest-Tagen sortieren, indem ich die JSON-Werte nach dem JSONata-Ausdruck "$^(Tage )" formatiere. Das hat bis zur aktuellen Version wunderbar funktioniert. Nun ist aber bei "Tage" (und auch bei "Datum" ein Leerzeichen dazugekommen, weshalb ich nicht mehr sortieren kann. Könntest du das Leerzeichen bei der nächsten Version wieder entfernen oder gerne eine Möglichkeit hinzufügen, den Countdown nach verschiedenen Einstellungen sortieren zu lassen?

Aktuell: "Tage " -> Besser: "Tage".

Dear Adapter developer,

Node.js 14 is now available for a year and Node.js 16 was release just some days ago and will become LTS by October 2021. We plan to update the ioBroker Node.js recommendation (currently 12.x) to 14.x later this year.

Please check your adapter with Node.js 14 especially, and ideally also directly with Node.js 16

Please add both versions to the adapter testing which is executed on commits.

If your adapter requires a certain minimum version of Node.js please set the 'engine' setting in package.json accordingly! Please also do this if the adapter is not able to work in certain Node.js versions, so that ioBroker can prevent users from installing te adapter if not compatible!

On questions please talk to us at ioBroker/ioBroker.js-controller#1138

Please close the issue after you checked it.

Thank you very much for your support!

I am an automatic service from ioBroker that searches adapters and makes suggestions.

I noticed that your adapter is not integrated in the ioBroker.discovery. Using the Discovery adapter, ioBroker can automatically find devices or suggest services to the user for installation. If possible I would live to see your adapter added there.

Some adapters have already been added and you can use them as blueprints. See: https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker.discovery You need to fork this project and then create a PR for your adapter to be added.

Basically the plugins can do HTTP calls, UDP discovery, MDNS, UPNP and will iterate over all devices found by IP scan and check local serial ports. If you want you can also add new discovery methods but please try to do that with at least dependencies as possible.

Then create one file under lib/adapters for your adapter to implement the detection and proposal of an instance to the user.

On questions, the other developers will support in the forum or via GitHub issues too.

If no detection is possible, simply close this issue and I won't bother you again. ;-)
