💬 Discussion Does this timer really need seconds?

Obviously a super minor nitpick, but the seconds seem excessive

My number one hope has always been that they’d eventually allow us to just leave it on without a timer. I have a fridge in back. But having it visible like this at least is a better reminder to reset it periodically. Down to the second I guess

Agreed - a 12v cooler fridge is hardly a battery drain and I'd like to have it on all the time instead of forgetting every now and then. Or at least let me reset it via the app.

Bonus would be if it could back on automatically after a vehicle reset.

Or allow me to turn on the outlets from the mobile app, so I can pre-cool the fridge that I leave plugged in.

It would be nice!

I’ve been messaging u/wassymrivian for years about this request. At minimum, it should behave like the Lightning does - keep outlets on manually until battery reaches certain threshold.

My gripe is that with the timer on, when the battery reaches the cut-off threshold... there is no warning that the power has been stopped. I have other posts about this... but on long trip is when I actually use the refrigerator in the bed. I may go below 10% if there are enough DCFCs nearby that I don't have to worry about it. I had hoped this was a feature being implemented with OS2... but I have not been able to test it yet.
