ToggleTimer issues?

Plugins & Plugin Development Program Logic (PLEG)
1

Hi Richard,

I am almost sure I am experiencing the following behavior:

  1. I start a 3-minute Self-Re-trigger PLEG timer. The timer appears as true in the PLEG status report.
  2. After 2:07 minutes (2 minutes and 7 seconds), I use a ToggleTimer action, to stop the time.

The timer indeed stopped and appears as false in the PLEG status report, with a Last Off timestamp of 2:07 minutes after the Last On timestamp.

However, after another 53 seconds (i.e. 3 minutes after the timer was originally started), I am almost sure the timer “stops again”, as the PLEG staus report shows the timer is still false, but now the Last Off timestamp is 3 minutes after the Last On timestamp, which was not changed.

Is this how PLEG should work, or is it a bug?

Edit: Attached the 2 status reports: after 2:07 minutes and after more than 3:00 minutes.

That is probably a bug … I will look into it.

I had some similar issues as well. I ended up using ResetCounter/StartCounter/StopCounter instead with a Counter set as a Timer type. It seems to work fine as a timer… Its not clear to me what the difference is between the Timer and Counter actions other than one has a toggle… Not sure if there is some other difference to consider.
