Resetting Time Counter on Inputs

chriscummings

Hello all!

What is the best practice for resetting the "time" field on an input. For example, my /rest/di/1 page displays:

{"value": 0, "debounce": 0, "circuit": "1", "dev": "input", "time": 313550791}

If I wanted to send a command to evok to reset the field, how would I do so, for example, to make it display "time"; 0 and start the counting over?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hello Chris,

the time parameter is not a counter, it is the number of second since epoch - the linux time representation. To count the number of pulses, you have to use other sw solution on top of evok. For example a simple websocket client that will take care of counting the signals (see the nodered example on our wiki)

Hi Tomas,

there is something wrong with "time". It cannot be the number of second since epoch. Look at conversion back to date what results I get when trying to convert "time" back to human readable format

Where could be a problem? Is it a bug in Evok? If not what really represents "time"?

Thank you
