      Hey there 👋 - I would like to display the remaining time of a timer that I scheduled via a physical EchoDot.

      Is there a way to have a module pop up with a timer as soon as I requested it from the EchoDot? Similar to this Module?

      Can you please give me an advice in which direction I can investigate? Is there an API available?

      Thank you very much in advance!

      Best regards from Berlin.

        @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 cool… looks like there is a rest api for alarms…

                  https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/alexa-voice-service/avs-rest-alarms.html

                  haven’t found a node library for this

                    @sdetweil Another guy added that as well and presented it on YouTube

                    He also mentioned something in the comments.

                    If that is not working I guess I’ll buy a microphone and test that with the awesome alexa module.

                        @sdetweil Oh okay, you can only set an alarm and not a Timer?
