**Device information:**

- Type of Mac: Macbook Pro M4
- macOS version: 15.7.1 (24G231)
- BetterTouchTool version: (please post the exact version - not just "the latest one") 5.670

**Additional information (e.g. crash logs, related issues, etc.):**

The monitor at home it’s not P2422H, did connect this morning. The `seconds_since_last_trigger` value seems attached to that connect time.  
It should be the seconds since last P2422H monitor connects.
