Howdy.
How about adding support for timers in the LCD plugin?
The AlarmClock option only works with Alarm Clocks per your other plugin, but state-based can`t decipher the longTextState that Timers user.
Timer Minutes are ok , but Seconds are the whole seconds from SETPOINT to zero.
Can you add an option for timers that deciphers Minutes and Seconds into 00:00 style format?
(And add a colon character to your graphics which I don`t think exists yet?)
This is after you`ve written the iOS app for Alarm Clocks of course.

I'll check into that and see what makes sense. Maybe you can give me a screenshot of what you are seeing that you want to improve.howartp wrote:How about adding support for timers in the LCD plugin?
Yes, colons are there, along with nearly 600 other imageshowartp wrote:And add a colon character to your graphics which I don`t think exists yet?

Timer PAH time is 4 minutes 55 seconds (ish).
But the states are
00:04:55
4 (minutes)
295 (seconds)
I'd like an LCD display of 04:55 but I can't see a way of parsing that in your current options.

Re: Timer support
I just put up a 1.1.1 pre-release with two new value types that should handle this for you, give it a try and if it all works well then I'll make the update official. There are no image changes as of yet (not to say I might not throw a few in for the "official" release so keep your eyes peeled for the update announcement), so just install the plugin only - unless of course you never updated all your images from 1.1.0 in the first place

Re: Timer support
Well, you took your time - what have you been doing all day?
![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Yep, that works well thanks - though I'd prefer a separate colon image the same height as the rest of the icons, but only as wide as the colon (plus spacing) - ie not the whole width of the current ones.
I could do that myself, but the coding would need to allow for it.

Re: Timer support
Probably not going to happen in this generation of the plugin since colons are already accounted for as part of the individual character files (there is a A and a A: file), one of the primary reasons for this is because it takes up an extra space in an already tight 4 character spot, which would mean I would need frames that support 4.5 to 5 spaces.howartp wrote:I'd prefer a separate colon image the same height as the rest of the icons, but only as wide as the colon
And the code most certainly does the opposite of supporting that, the code is set that if there is a colon then the image file is changed, so for A: it would be ACOL as the image name.
What would the benefit be of having a separate colon image rather than having it already added on to the characters the way it is?

Re: Timer support
I personally think the colon is too squashed against the character it's with.

I suppose you could create your own set of images (and if you do and they look good I can include it as an option in the plugin ZIP file) doing something like this:
- Open the SPC.png image
- Since all the character are a little right, you could center them or move them further left
- On the *COL.png files you could put the colon in for the size and placement desired
There probably aren't a whole lot of folks using the plugin but if that changes and the majority of the users want the LCD images to change I'll seriously consider it. The code was easy, it's the images that take all the time
