VICREO Timer

This module connects to the VICREO Timer HTTP API and listens to the live /api/events SSE stream.

Configuration

Configure the module with:

  • API host / IP: defaults to 127.0.0.1, but can be any reachable VICREO Timer machine on your network
  • API port: defaults to 3892
  • Reconnect interval: how often the module retries if the app is unavailable

The VICREO Timer app must be running for the REST API and SSE stream to be available.

Actions

  • Select a timer in the app
  • Control the active timer: start, pause, reset, show, hide, duplicate, move, delete
  • Send keypad input to the active timer
  • Adjust the active timer by +1 minute or -1 minute
  • Recall countdown preset slots 1-10 on the active timer
  • Save the current countdown duration back into preset slots 1-10 on the active timer
  • Set message timer text
  • Create timers and apply patch-style timer updates
  • Reorder timers by ID list
  • Pause all timers and reset all timers
  • Show or hide the second screen
  • Update display settings including blackout and colors
  • Add log entries and clear logs

Variables

The module publishes variables for:

  • Global state such as connection info, timer count, blackout, and second screen visibility
  • The currently selected timer, sourced from the app state / SSE stream, including display value plus separate hours, minutes, and seconds
  • Selected countdown preset times 1-10
  • Timer slots 1-20, including timer id, title, display value, separate hours, minutes, seconds, running state, visibility, and related timer state

Selection Model

  • The app's selectedTimerId from /api/state and SSE is treated as the source of truth
  • Active timer actions always operate on the currently selected timer in the VICREO Timer app
  • Timer slot presets are used to select timers in the app

Presets

Included preset categories:

  • Selected Timer: start, pause, reset, show, hide, +1 minute, -1 minute
  • Selected Timer: also includes recall preset 1-10 and save preset 1-10 for countdown timers
  • Selected Timer Variables: display-only presets for the current selected timer, selected_timer_value, selected_timer_hours, selected_timer_minutes, and selected_timer_seconds
  • Selected Timer Keypad: digits 0-9, Backspace, Enter, Escape
  • Timer Select: select timer slots
  • Timer Variables: display-only presets for timer slot 1-20 hours, minutes, and seconds
  • Global: pause all, reset all, show second screen, hide second screen, blackout on, blackout off
