HourStarted() doesn’t evaluate to true

[WayneS]

When I use the formula below, it constantly increments and does not reset to 0. It appears to me the HourStarted() doesn’t ever give a true.

EveryMin(() => HourStarted() ? 0 : Val() + 1)

HourStarted() is running with a delay. The revision of the formulas has apparently not yet been included in the release.

HourStarted

Use a translator if you need to understand.

The reason turned out to be that the HourStarted formula was triggered after 30 seconds, as the hour arrived, and EveryMin was triggered at 0 seconds. The delay in the HourStarted formula is useful in some cases.
You can update the Scripts table in the Calendar entry to make it work.:

EveryMin(() => HourStarted() ? 0 : Val() + 1)

These changes will be included in the project template in the next release.

Thanks,

That makes sense, I did wonder why it was set at >=30 seconds – will fix that.

As the author noted, the delay in hourly formulas can be useful, but here it is necessary to combine the minute with the hour, and this usefulness went sideways 🙂
