FR: countdown widget / slider replacement (dimmer control) #23

This widget should visualize a countdown as clearly as possible - so one can see it from the other side of the room :)

It could look like gauge 19 or 15: clipboard01

Gauge15 should be full on countdown start and then loose "water/sand/light". Also it should optionally fade to a custom color during progress. Number maybe bigger and centered.

Gauge19 from a full to empty

Both should have optional color fading between start and end point and options if / how the countdown can be started, canceled or reseted. Possible actions on click: start, pause, reset, restart. The interval can be fixed or configurable (slide or press up/down).

I think this widgets would also be nice, intuitive dimmer controls. Sliding up or pressing the upper half to brighten and vice versa.

alternative sliders - yes, I've thought about this too. But the countdown-widget - hmmm... do we really need this or can't we just use a common gauge-like widget and create the countdown out of node-red?

Yes, but handling the timer states makes the flow unnecessary confusing and bulky.
