I’m trying to convert a number into time format using .format time. In instant the variable has a value 180 but the result is 05:30:00
I expected it to be 00:03:00
Where am I going wrong here?

{Stopwatch timer set to 1000 and enabled to true in another block}

Have you seen the aia file?
It has a screen where I have created a stopwatch
That will surely help you!

#27

I’ve seen that. That would work but I wanted to do it with just one component of stopwatch. I’m not understading why the Clock1.FormatTime is not working right?

#28

Because you aren’t providing an instant.
Use the make instant from millis block (that will start the countdown from GMT ± your timezone)
Eg; for India it starts from 5:30:00 AM.

So you will need to track in which timezone does the user stay in and add/subtract time accordingly.

Note:- AM or PM is also added in the format time block

Ok it wont work then. I tried deephost CountdownTimer extension but that is not pausing or if it is pausing then the label still continues and when I continue there is total asyncronisation and label keeps jumping between two times within a second.
No good countdown timer for a quiz exists [facepalm]

Try this extension by @iamwsumit

I used the updated clockdown.timerfro deephost and that seems to work for me.

Deephost isn’t active on the community and hardly repeat to emails.
