@mz-ber I am not aware of any support for this…
you know that timers are echo device specific, right?
start a timer on echo 1, you cannot find it or control it on echo 2
and a real timer has two parts, on the amazon server is the actual timer event.
on an echo with a display, there is an independent visual started when the ‘starting now’ is spoken

Hello @sdetweil - thanks for your quick response.
I guess you are half right. As soon as I trigger a timer with the EchoDot, I can see it on my iPad, iPhone etc.
There is some connection - similar to the Module “MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify”
And I’ve noticed that some guys from the Home-Assistant Community developed a similar thing (Alexa Timer Card)
Here are some images from my iPad:

@mz-ber right, but u had to go into the alexa app to get that .
it didn’t just occur natuarally. -
@sdetweil I adjusted my post above with an additional note about the Home Assistant Community that I found.

@mz-ber i saw… looking… somehow they have an alexa api trying to find it…
-
@mz-ber cool… looks like there is a rest api for alarms…

@mz-ber awesome alexa will let u set an alarm (its all thru voice) …
-
@sdetweil Oh okay, you can only set an alarm and not a Timer?
-
@mz-ber and probably a timer…
I am looking at my alexa implementation on another platform…
and it shows in alexa app.
but I have a bug too…

FYI, if you have not found out yet, I use the below node red to extract time left on any alexa timer. This then is displayed on my MM.https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel

Sorry, I know this is a crazy old post, please forgive me 😬 I’m trying to do exactly this for my kitchen MM.
If I understand this correctly, I need to have NodeRed on a separate device? So I need a Pi for HA and then another Pi to be running NodeRed?
I’m working on looking at different documentation and some tutorials. Am I able to run NodeRed on the Pi that the Mirror is running on?
