Custom app not removed after time set through "lifetime" value

[Kefut]

Hi,

I'm using a Ulanzi TC001 with AWTRIX-LIGHT v0.48 and publish custom apps through MQTT from Homeassistant.
As you can see from the snippet below I try to delete the custom app after 24h (86400 seconds) in case there has not been an update. Unfortunately the "lifetime" value doesn't seem to work as the app just doesn't disappear.

service: mqtt.publish data: qos: 0 retain: false topic: awtrix_1/custom/batwarn payload: >- { "text": "{{sensors}}", "icon": 12123, "textCase": 2, "save": true, "lifetime": 86400, "scrollSpeed": 75, "repeat": 1}

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks for your help

Of course you're doing something wrong:
Don't open a issue with such an old firmware version. We're at 0.88...
Feel free to reopen, if you have the same issue with the latest firmware

[Kefut]

My mistake - I am actually on 0.88! 0.48 was a typo. Sorry for the confusion.

[Blueforcer]

You need to set the lifetime in seconds.
Not milliseconds. In your case it would take a very long time to disappear 😄

I want 24h, so it's 24 x 60 x 60 --> 86400sec

I'm not sure it's made for such a long period ..
Need to check it this afternoon.

[Kefut]

Thanks for checking - didn't see any limitations in the docu besides that the number needs to be an integer and didn't expect 1day to be too long.

[Blueforcer]

Should be fine now by change the datatype to long.
I didnt test it with 24h, please feel free to reopen the issue if the problem still persist

[Kefut]

Just checked and unfortunately it's still not working.

I also have this problem. I'm using OpenHAB to publish this data to my MQTT Server, but this should not make a difference. I want it to not show the solar production one hour (=3600s) after it turned to "producing" 0 W. Here my last MQTT publish is from 21:47 (it's now 2:13, so this last change was ~4.5h ago), the MPTT Message was:
{ "icon": "sol-stop", "text": "0 W", "duration": 5, "color": "#FFFFFF", "progress": 0, "progressC": "#FFFFFF", "progressBC": "#222222", "lifetime": 3600 }
And it was still displaying the message.
I'm on version 0.96
