Could you also help me to set the countdown on footprint:

a) Flex Renko 6-3-1
b) Reversal bar 10-3, please. I have zeros at the moment (attachment) I put =1 as in described in the message above.

We are not understanding what you are asking.

Are you needing help adding a Countdown timer to a specific chart? Or are you trying to setup an alert based on the Countdown Timer and if so, what exactly are you wanting to be alerted on?

I would like to know when the next bar opens. No ringing alert - only count down. With time it is easy to see how many minutes are left before the next candle or footprint opens. But Is it possible to see when next:

a) point and figure,
b) Flexi Renko footprint and
c) reversal bar

open?

Maybe it is not...

From the documentation for the Countdown Timer:
The Countdown Timer is not supported on Reversal, Renko, Delta Volume, Point and Figure chart bars. In these cases, 0 will be displayed by the study.

One thing you might want to look at is the Numbers Bars Calculated Values which has a Subgraph for the Bar Duration, so you can see how long it took for each bar to build. Refer to the following:
