Timer

A timer card displays a Home Assistant timer.* entity as a live countdown. Tap to start the timer, tap again while running to cancel it, and tap a paused timer to resume.

Setting Up a Timer Card

1. Add a new card and select Timer.
2. Enter a Timer Entity — the Home Assistant timer entity you want to control (for example, timer.kitchen).
3. Set a Label (optional) — shown at the bottom of the card. If left blank, the entity's friendly name from Home Assistant is used.
4. Optionally enable Confirm before cancel to require a second tap before cancelling a running timer.
5. If confirmation is enabled, set the Confirmation Time Out (Seconds). After this delay the prompt disappears and the timer keeps running.

How It Works on the Panel

• The card shows the time remaining as a large number, with the label below.
• Format auto-switches between M:SS (under one hour) and H:MM (one hour or more — seconds are dropped so the value fits the card).
• When the timer is idle, the card displays its configured duration — the value it will start at on the next tap.
• When active, the card counts down once per second to 0:00.
• When paused, the card freezes at the remaining value.

Tap Behaviour

State	Tap
Idle	Calls timer.start
Active	Calls timer.cancel (with confirmation if enabled)
Paused	Calls timer.start (resumes from the remaining value)

Confirmation

When Confirm before cancel is enabled, tapping a running timer replaces the card's label with Confirm and arms a one-shot timeout. Tap a second time within the timeout window to cancel the timer; otherwise the prompt disappears and the timer keeps running.

The timer's duration attribute is read from Home Assistant — there is no per-card duration setting. To change how long the timer runs, edit the timer entity in Home Assistant.
