This resets the duration to the last known initial value without firing the timer.finished event. Service data attributeĬancel an active timer. You can also use entity_id: all and all active timers will be paused. This will retain the remaining duration for later continuation. Name of the entity to take action, e.g., timer.timer0.ĭuration in seconds or 00:00:00 until the timer finishes. You can also use entity_id: all and all active timers will be started. The duration can be specified as a number of seconds or the easier to read 01:23:45 format. If a new duration is provided, this will be the new default for the timer until Home Assistant is restarted (which loads your default values). If no duration is given, it will either restart with its initial value, or continue a paused timer with the remaining duration. Starts or restarts a timer with the provided duration. finished_at should usually be now, or within the last several seconds, but if the restore property is true, finished_at may be further in the past since this event will fire on startup for any timers that would have ended while Home Assistant was stopped. Timer is currently running because it was (re-)startedįired when a timer has completed and includes finished_at date/time in event data. Timer is idle because the timer finished, was canceled or was never started For example mdi:car, mdi:ambulance, or mdi:motorbike. Pick an icon that you can find on to use for your timer and prefix the name with mdi. The finished_at property in the event data will provide you with the time that the timer was actually supposed to fire which you can use in automation conditions to decide whether or not to act on it. If an active timer was supposed to end while Home Assistant is stopped, the timer.finished event will fire on startup for that timer. When true, active and paused timers will be restored to the right state on startup. To add a timer to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file: Timers can also be configured via configuration.yaml: If you removed default_config: from your configuration, you must add timer: to your configuration.yaml first, then you can use the UI. To be able to add Helpers via the user interface you should have default_config: in your configuration.yaml, it should already be there by default unless you removed it. You can also click the following button to be redirected to the Helpers page of your Home Assistant instance. The preferred way to configure timer helpers is via the user interface at Settings -> Devices & Services -> Helpers and click the add button next choose the Timer option.
Starting a timer triggers a started event unless the timer is paused, in that case, it triggers a restarted event. This, for example, makes it easy to create timed lights that get triggered by motion.
When calling the start service on a timer that is already running, it resets the duration it will need to finish and restarts the timer without triggering a canceled or finished event. To control timers in your automations you can use the services mentioned below. This allows you to differentiate if a timer has switched from active to idle because the given duration has elapsed or it has been canceled. When a timer finishes or gets canceled the corresponding events are fired. The timer integration aims to simplify automations based on (dynamic) durations.
