Thanks for your suggestions.

The countdown idea is nice but bears a few problems with displaying the remaining time. Only minutes, hours and days have a fixed length, a month and a year does not. How would I count down months, if each month has a different length. Say, it's Apr 15, and you set the alarm to May 15; is that now 1 month, 0 days, displayed as "01 00 0000 xx xx". I don't like that, it's somewhat ambiguous, and as much as I accept the stupid American date format, for displaying a count down timer it is idiotic and counter-intuitive. So, I would rather count and only display the remaining days, but that would not fit properly into the display mask. What is more doable and would fit the concepts is to implement an alarm for a given date+time. I put this on my list of ideas, need to think about it.

As for the alarm output idea: Unfortunately, there is no output left. All GPIOs are used.

Good evening,
thank you for your reply.
can we not limit the time counter to 1 year, this will limit the calculations.
Too bad for the outings, the goal was to operate a motor.
What are the future functionalities that you will program?
Cordially.

What is your goal with this timer? Displaying a countdown (briefly, after entering a code), or having an alarm/reminder?

Implemented the reminder, that should do it.
