Event Viewer Missing data when table is higher or many rows [REQ]

I'm using this visual for see the timeline event working good but one of my devices have many rows in one day more than 1000 rows, it's just showing one device incomplete it. I need this visual because I using old one is not in the market place anymore and is not certified. So Event Viewer is very good for me, just have this limitation.

One solution could be, add limitation in the code for can increase the limit as the old one visual that used. following we can see the code part of the old visual that can help with the limitation:

I don't know if it's possible add something like this in the event viewer.

Event Viewer: Off-by-one when rendering states

When data consists 5 rows of state data, only 4 gets rendered in timeline. Legend seems to have 5 state labels, although I would expect to see only 3.

Data types are as following:

• Device data is string.
• StartUtc is time.
• Duration is time.
• State is whole number.

See attached image.

Event Viewer: Changing fields mixes coloring

Version 1.1.0 had a fix to similar issue (#164) in filtering context. After testing parameters with visual it losts coloring.

The upper event viewer timeline has been under configuration, properties has changed back and forth few times and in that has lost the proper state coloring. The lower one is with same properties as the upper one without any additional configuration. Both event viewers are rendering same data. See the image for details.

Viewer does not recognise date/time information

I get an error message that the time field is not in date/time format. However I have formatted in power query to Date/Time fornmat

Fixed 24hr timeframe

I am using the Visual to show when an IoT valve controller calls for heat for the rooms of a house. If all devices are "off" then the visual doesn't start showing the off position until there is a change. This can be as late as 17:00 if the house is quiescent. Can I force the viz to always display the values from 12:00AM to 11:59PM. This will make each day comparable visually.

Thanks for your help. Any support I can offer?

Event Viewer: Inconsistent configuration visual

When the visual is placed on the canvas, it tells to populate 4 fields: device, event/state, time field and date/time. However in the configuration panel there is only 3 fields to populate. See attached image.

The tool usage would be very clear with the 4 properties. Currently with 3 properties, visual apparently uses only start time to detect the bar length. I have a case when I have an explicit duration of state, but it does not necessarily carry to next start time, thus leaving a blank space in timeline. If this time (or duration) property is omitted, current behaviour would acceptable.

Chart wants to make all end times the same

For my device, I'm using a text field for days of the week (Monday, Tuesday etc.). For Time I'm using a short date (e.g. 6:10 AM), for Event/State I'm using a text field that contains (Office, Remote, PTO). When looking at the visual it. The start dates look great, but the end dates are modified so they all end at the latest time within the dataset. If you look at the attached visual and dataset Wednesday should end at 2:39p, and Monday at 4:12p. Maybe this isn't the intended use for the visual or something could be up with my data.
