You find more guides and flows at https://www.frosenlind.se
Configuration
Counter Entity ID
Full entity ID of counter to use as timer, eg. counter.my_counter
Counter
Counter time
Input
Reset timer send msg.payload = reset to stop timer
Output
Output 1 sends an output every second.
- msg.counter = the time set to the counter
- msg.duration = time left on the timer
- msg.entity = the counter entity ID
Output 2 send two outputs
- sends msg.payload = timer_triggered when the timer starts
- sends msg.payload = timer_finished when the timer is done
By sending a new message to the flow you "reset" the timer to the initial value, just like a normal trigger-node.
