Timer progress/remaining in sitemap

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules

Thanks for this. Hacky or not, it is very useful.

Though I did opt for now.plusMinutes to save a few processes.

I now use it with a selection menu, where the value of the selection is used as the timer.

I signed up to the crowdsourced wifi service fon which allows you to use any Fon hotspot around the world for free. Providing you share a little bit of yours. They give you a little router to plug into your own. All secured from your local network.

I explicitly asked about where the traffic (the external ip) from someone using my hotspot would appear to be coming from. I was told it would be linked to the account of the member using it with no link to my ip. I was doubtful that it was even possible to route to another IP and I questioned it several times to be sure.

However when I plugged in and tested it, the external IP is the same IP as if I was using the local network.

When I contacted to complain, they said not to worry, the IP is of my ISP not my computer, the internal IPs are safe. I said that I would happily write 192.168.1.123 on the wall because its useless. The external IP is the one that is the problem. Tisk.

So now I only share at random times every now and then to still keep the service.

items

Number Fon_Timer_Selector "Timer duration"
Number Fon_Timer_Remaining "Remaining minutes [%s]" 

// additional items so I can see the start/stop times on the sitemap
DateTime Fon_Timer_DateTime_Start  "Last Start/Update [%1$tA, %1$tm/%1$td, %1$tI:%1$tM %1$tp]"    
DateTime Fon_Timer_DateTime_Stop  "Last Stopped [%1$tA, %1$tm/%1$td, %1$tI:%1$tM %1$tp]"

sitemap

Frame label="Fon Switches" {
  Selection item=Fon_Timer_Selector icon="clock" mappings=[0 = "Off",15 = "15 minutes",30 = "30 minutes",60 = "60 minutes",120 = "120 minutes"]
  Text  item=Fon_Timer_Remaining visibility=[Fon_Timer_Selector>0] icon="clock"
  Switch item=Socket_02 label="Fon power switch" icon="power" labelcolor=[Socket_02==ON="red"]
}
Frame label="Fon Info" {
  Text item=Fon_Timer_Remaining
  Text item=Fon_Timer_DateTime_Start
