Want to make sure I understand the request, do you have the search running once a day and you want the switch to turn on at the time of the query regardless of the actual matching event timeframe? If yes thinking a “delay toggle” type preference that defaults to on could be added and when off it would toggle switch immediately if a matching event is found regardless of start time. But I would assume you would want the end time to remain and switch turn off at the end of the matching event, with offset option too.

I think so.... Yes, read it again, you have interpretted it correctly. I run the query at 4am every day, if my team is playing later that afternoon, I want to have the switch turned on a 4am. I like the idea of the switch preference and the naming of it. The end time I hadn't really thought about, but turning it off at the end of the event sounds like a good solution too.

Ugh I hate programming with dates and I had issues with formats and comparing dates in the code.

@ritchierich

Are you any good with programming dates?

I know what you mean, it is a nice feeling being the one asking... You can use a driver of mine as an example if you want. All I'm thinking is something similar where you can provide a format string as a preference setting, a blank could act as a switch to use the default. Not the most user friendly for those not into programming, but functional, as long as you include a default in the code, so the user doesn't HAVE to provide a format string if they don't know how.

[RELEASE] Formatted Date and Time on Dashboard Tiles

EDIT: Personally I feel like, while there are differences in the implementation, I would suggest people start by looking at @jshimota 's driver. It provides a more rich set of attributes for display on dashboards and use in rules. I wanted to adjust the formatting of the date and time on my dashboards, so I have setup a small device driver to achieve this, along with help from @luarmr. The driver provides: Ability to adjust formatting preferences for date and time display Selection of a tim…

With the tiles, I'm not motivated enough to take a stab myself, was only interested to find out if you were intending to, there's probably enough alternatives, and you can never please everyone with the layout, so it's a small win for a reasonable amount of work I expect.
