Companion Module: Highpass Countdown

This module provides a simple countdown timer that can be displayed in a web browser and controlled from Companion.

Features

  • Set a countdown time (HH:MM:SS).
  • Start, pause, and stop the timer.
  • Add or subtract time from the current countdown.
  • Display the timer in a web browser on the network.
  • Change the color of the timer based on its state (running, paused, stopped) and time remaining (amber and red warnings).
  • Set top and bottom auxiliary text.
  • Show the internal time on the web page.

Configuration

  1. Web Server Port: The port on which the web server will run (default: 8080).
  2. Show Internal Time: Display the computer's internal time on the web page.
  3. Time Corner: Choose the corner of the screen to display the internal time.
  4. Amber Time (seconds): The timer will turn amber when the remaining time is less than or equal to this value.
  5. Red Time (seconds): The timer will turn red when the remaining time is less than or equal to this value.
  6. Timer Font Size (vw): The font size of the timer as a percentage of the viewport width.
  7. Aux Font Size (vw): The font size of the auxiliary text as a percentage of the viewport width.

Web Interface

To view the timer, open a web browser and navigate to http://<your-ip-address>:<port>. The IP address is that of the computer running Companion, and the port is the one configured in the module settings.

Presets

The module comes with a number of presets to get you started:

  • Timer Display: A button that shows the current timer value and changes color based on the state.
  • Start/Pause/Stop Timer: Buttons to control the timer.
  • Set Timer: Buttons to set the timer to common values (1, 5, 10, 30, 60 minutes).
  • Add/Subtract Minute: Buttons to add or subtract one minute from the timer.
