@justjoeyuk Please update your testing reports to conform to this template. You need to give more information than what was provided.

@justjoeyuk The image in your plugins.json should be used to show your plugin or a graphic representing what it does, not advertise a website on the plugin store. decktools.xyz is fine in the author field, but please select a different image.

[justjoeyuk]

@EMERALD0874 Understood. Promo image has been updated to: https://www.decktools.xyz/simple-timer-promo.jpeg and my testing reports have been updated to conform with the template.

Approved for deployment to testing store.

Was having a play with this in the morning and the timer appears to restart if you let the timer expire while the deck is in standby.

I may be a bit picky on this, but:

• It appears that when the plugin will display <0 minute remaining near the timer's end, which might get a little confusing.
• Since you are only updating the timer in five-second intervals anyway (aka precision isn't a big concern), a way to implement this & avoid issues where the timer may get reset or stop counting (as a result of the Steam restarting or, as @grimkor mentioned, going to sleep) would be to store the end time of the timer as Unix timestamp, and check against it inside an asyncio loop instead of creating a sleeping event loop for each timer. This would allow you to, eg. display a notification if the timer couldn't fire (due to the aforementioned reasons), or to implement multiple timers later on (by just pushing more timers onto the stack and check against them).

@ohaiibuzzle thanks for the suggestion, will handle implementation that way - good shout

[EMERALD0874]

@justjoeyuk Please do not check that someone has tested your plugin at the bottom of your PR template until a testing report has been submitted with the proper format. I've had to uncheck that for you twice.

Testing Report

Versions

Decky: v3.1.2-pre1
SteamOS: v3.6.20 (Stable)

Summary

Major blocking issues

None

Minor issues

None

Currently installed plugins

• TabMaster - Dev (essentially v2.8.0)
• CSS Loader - 2.1.2
• SteamGridDB - 1.4.0

Yay/nay on to send to the production store or if it requires more testing.

Looks good to me, although I agree that the formatting of the time remaining could use some tweaking

[justjoeyuk]

I have updated the plugin to v1.0.0 with changes proposed for sleep management.

• Changed the button text to "Less than a minute" if seconds remaining < 60
• Timer is now based off a timestamp and will be compared when the plugin is either reloaded or device goes to sleep then wakes up
• If a timer has expired between plugin reloads or device wake, a simple toast will be shown notifying the user that the timer has expired and the timer will be removed
• If a timer has not expired between plugin reloads or device wake, the timer will continue until it was originally scheduled to end.

@Tormak9970 just want you to confirm no blocking issues with the latest version whenever possible.

[EMERALD0874]

Tested this briefly on my Deck (with Stable SteamOS) and had no blocking issues with the latest version. Also checked the latest features and they seem to work as intended. Checked the code and it also looks good. Considering this good to go!
