A16: IFTTT Time based actions not working

[sebfromgermany]

Hi. Do you have any update on the timer topic?
It would be really great if the timer function would work.
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Kind regards!

Hello.

Did I get this right: Is the support for A16 stopped? Or can we expect the timer bug fix in near future?
Without this bug being fixed, all of my A16 modules are more or less useless. :-(
It would be great if you could give feedback on this.

Kind regards.

can you take a video of the issue, upload to google driver. Because we did not reproduce this issue.

I don't think that's possible, you'd end up with a 24-hour long video of nothing happening. It should be fairly easy to reproduce from the original instructions, in IFTTT set up 24 timers, one for every hour (e.g. 00:00, 01:00, 02:00, etc), and get them to switch on output 15.  After 24 hours check if any of the timers have triggered.  Both sebfromgermany and myself found that none of the timers ever triggered.

Yes, that is correct. I tried to set up a timer with 2 different software versions (v2.2.10 and v2.2.12). There was not action at the specific time when the output should have been switched on. I had it run for more than 24 hours.
To set up the test is very easy. Please try on your side. Unfortunately this key function is not working.
I'd be also happy if there is any trick or additional steps I could do to make it work.

I just set up another test with a timer to switch on an output. As the point in time was reached, nothing happend.

Kind regards.

can you test timer by this way:
1. download the latest v2.2.13 firmware: https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8058

2. After power on, the firmware time zone remains at UTC-0

3.Record the Board Time of the current firmware homepage, such as 10:20:36 on May 8, 2025

4. Configure a Timer process in IFTTT, where IF uses Timer and sets it to UTC-0 time (1-2 minutes longer than step 3, such as 10:22), THEN is set to toggle a certain DO, and ensure that the IFTTT enable option is enabled

5. Return to the IFTTT list page, click the green button 'run', and observe if the DO is toggled normally.

6. Manually restart the board

7. After waiting for the time set in step 4 to arrive, observe whether IFTTT is working.

Hi @admin.

Thank you very much. That works great. This was the missing piece for my project. 
Well done.

Best regards,

Seb

ok, good.

@sebfromgermany, what was the magic change?  The description seems to match what both of us had been doing, is it the "manually restart the board" (power cycle it?) that makes the difference?
