[Project Name Here] OpenCountdown

This module allows you to control an openCountdown server. You can get the server here: Link

Actions

There is a wide variety of actions supported. The best way to discover them is head over to Companion and try them out. Many functions support pre-defined presets.

Set mode

With set mode you can set the current mode, it can be any of the following: Timer, Clock, Black or a Testimage

Play controls

This action allows you to play/pause/restart the timer.

Style settings

These settings allow you to change the look and feel of openCountdown on the fly. They should be applied the moment a command is issued-

Show time on timer

This setting allows you to show the time on the timer. It will always be shown in a 24-hr format.

Show milliseconds

This setting will show the remaining milliseconds on the timer. Some may want to disable milliseconds because it makes the countdown page visually very restless.

Show Progressbar

This setting will show a progressbar on the timer. The progressbar will be filled with the remaining time. The colors can currently only be set via the webinterface.

Show text color

Whether the text should obey a color gradient or not. The gradient can not be configured via companion. It is only possible to set it via the webinterface.

Timer settings

These settings allow you to change the timer. You can increase the timer or set a new value.

Add relative (Add time to the timer)

This options will at more time ontop of the current remaining time.

Set absolute (Set the timer to a certain time)

This option will set the timer to a certain time.

Messaging

This feature allows you to show a message on the timer. It will appear below the countdown. It will pulsate a few seconds after appearing.

Show message

This option will show a message on the timer. The message can be set, however it should not be too long.

Hide message

This option will get rid of the currently displayed message.

Other information (Disclaimer)

This information is mentioned on the openCountdown git page, however I would like to reiterate here. Please do not use openCountdown for military or life-depending applications. Please also refrain from using openCountdown for launching rockets.

Getting further help

If something does not work or you need further help, either raise an issue or send me an E-Mail. I will try to help you as soon as possible. I can not supply 24/7 support. I am a student and I have a life outside of programming.
