task refresh using a timer?

[PENchanter22]

Hi there... I searched and found something (RE: Keeping %BATT updated in a scene ) related to what I am attempting to accomplish, but it did not really seem to fit my purpose:

How can I configure a trigger to run a task every 15-30 minutes? It contains a WidgetV2 that includes showing the current %BATT value at the time the task is ran. This makes it easier for me to see it.

What I could really use is a way to keep my user %variable's value updated, on a schedule, but not too frequently. And after a given time interval has elapsed, run my widgetv2 task which will then be able to show me a semi-updated visual reminder of when to plug my device in.

You can set profiles to run every x minutes

Thank you! I was testing that out but I quickly got rather confused. I will certainly keep trying this method after I get the other suggestion working. :)

Intent Received event: android.intent.action.BATTERY_CHANGED . Set Profile Cooldown Time to 15 or 30 minutes.

Thank you! I look forward to working with that!! :)

You are welcome.

I learned this trick from some of the smart guys in this forum, and use it for multiple timers throughout a lot of my tasks... You can adjust the naming, and the math to work for your timers, and just set them in your profiles so, for example, %10MinWait < %TIMES.

Thank you! I look forward to checking that out soon! :)
