It will always follow the min value and move between min and max. quite frustrating... this element could use some fix and more features. IE: -A start/stop input. -And wheter it stops directly at current value or counts to start/min or max after stop message. -Choice if auto reset or not on stop. And if reset go to min/max or start.

Because of the start/min bug i have to make a whole lot of unnecessary logic.... grrrrrrrr 😉

The start value seems to work for me provided it's in the min-max range.

Everything else can but done with some necessary logic and the min-reached and max-reached output triggers should make the reset almost trivial. But I'm not exactly sure how these proposed features should work from your description.

Assuming there is a bug can you be more explicit on what it is? An OSM to demonstrate it is best.

As for feature requests... I'd suggest you could get some help building a counter that does exactly what you want if you can stipulate the desired behaviour exactly and unambiguously. It will be efficient enough that there's no need to ask for a primitive to do the job --and you may have noticed we're not getting many (any) feature requests implemented lately.

I have managed to get it to work the way I want 🙂

But I did not know the start value had to be between min/max. Never thought of test that because it was not part of my plan. If it is not a bug I think it is dull with a such limitation. I have made it this way:

Min-max is 3-5, but it starts at 0 and returns to 0 after stop. Plus some other logic.

Here you can see what it is about. Maybe I have made things to complicated. But it works just the way I want.
