I wanted it to be a countdown timer. @broberg has a module that displays as you’ve described. Just the days.

Hi Mykle1,

Mike always, nice module.

I’m looking for something very similar. In fact, I’d like not a countdown, but something to count days, hours, minutes and seconds passed from a specific date (my son birth day).

Could this module be granted with this possibility ? Or maybe it is easy to change ?
What do you think ?

Thank you.

Hi,

Yes, I think that won’t be too much trouble. Just give me a little time to finish up what I am working on now and I’ll get right to it.

Well, I got to it sooner than I thought. You can now choose if you want to “count up” or not.

Do a git pull in the MMM-EventHorizon directory or install as per the readme.

@mykle1 oh man, you’re awsome.
I’ll give it à try when I go home.

Really, tank you à lot ! 👍

Will you update the readme for the synthax to be used ?

The update includes an amended readme. There is an addition to the config entry sample. countUp: "yes", (or no)

It feels like the timer is not indicating the correct time. It is set for 09:00:00. Current time is 21:40. Count down says we still have 17 hrs and 19 minutes to go. I think it should be 11 hrs and 21 minutes.
I am on Central European time. Could that be a contributing factor? Does the module vector in time-zone influences?

It never dawned on me that the timezsone was specific to the url being used in the module. The url itself is rather cryptic so I can’t determine what part is responsible for the timezone. Thus, I can’t make an option for timezones, unless someone wants to help determine that for me.

I have a work around if you are interested. You can go to https://www.timeanddate.com/clocks/freecountdown.html and create your own timer. You will be given a url when you are done. That url can be inserted into your copy of the module, with some minor modification and it will work.

This problem arises because the module is simply in an iFrame and not data from an API

I went and got a url for Central European time. Replace line 41 in the MMM-EventHorizon.js file with the following line.

iframe.src = "http://free.timeanddate.com/countdown/i6f8ps4b/n48/cf12/cm0/cu4/ct0/cs0/ca0/cr0/ss0/cac0ff/cpc0ff/pc000/tcfff/fs100/szw320/szh135/tat" + this.config.text1 + "/tac0ff/tpt" + this.config.endText1 + "/tpc0ff/mat" + this.config.text2 + "/mpt" + this.config.endText2 + "/mpc0ff/iso" + this.config.date + "T" + this.config.time;

This will only work when these two config.js options are as follows:

module: 'MMM-EventHorizon',
            position: 'bottom_left',
            config: {
                size: "medium", // small, medium or large
                countUp: "yes", // yes or no (count up after timer is done)

The other config options will work as intended

Thanks for your reply and confirming that it is a time-zone issues.
Instead of messing around with the code, I think I will simply off-set my event deadline time.
That way I am at least robust against updates.
Thanks for the work with the CET link.
