[misterhouse-users] incremental timer??

[Dave L. <db...@di...>]

Is there an incremental timer in Misterhouse?  As far as I can tell, the
only timer function "counts down" from a set time to zero. Is there a
way to go the other direction (start from zero and count up)? Like a
stop watch? I would also need the ability to pause,resume and reset the
timer.

I am needing this so that I can time how long an item is on/off. For
example, I would like to know how long my furnace runs each day. With
that information, I can create charts and do stuff like recommend when
the filter needs to be changed, etc. =20

I guess I could use the state_log function with timediff but figured it
would be cleaner to have a built in "stop watch" function.=20

What do you think, easy? Not worth it?

Dave
