Set limit to timer off beeps

[bouton]

I am trying to set the sbox3 such that when the timer ends the beeps only go off for x # of times, (or for a set time after). I have set a repeat/count in front of the timer_started_external script homeassistant.service but that loops endlessly.

Any hints.

I know I can yell 'timer cancel' but I would like even to not have to do that.

This is fabulous by the way. First time I have had an understanding of how esphome works.

Hi there ,
the duration of the timer sound is actually set using a delay in the following switch: with the default at 15mins. so you can can change that to whatever you choose. or you could remove the delay and as put a count in your script as you mentioned. Basically the script runs until the switch is turned off as it currently stands.
I hope that helps 👍

  - platform: template
    id: timer_ringing
    optimistic: true
    internal: true
    restore_mode: ALWAYS_OFF
    on_turn_on:
      - lambda: id(led).turn_on().set_brightness(1.0).perform();
      - delay: 15min
      - switch.turn_off: timer_ringing 
    on_turn_off:
      - media_player.stop
      ```

Duh - how did I miss that. Thanks for the quick reply.

PS - changing delay time worked just fine. Thanks.

Continuing with timer...
I am trying to set a timer, have it go to the timer coundown age and stay on the countdown page until finished.

timer_started goes to script timer_ending which has a wait until 10 sec then go to time_remaining age. I want it to go to the time_remaining_page and stay there until countdown is finished.
I comment out the wait_until but no luck. That only sent me to the screensave page until time was done and I got the timer finished page.

I can't seem to get to the time_remaining_page and stay there throughout the whole thing.
Any hints welcome

Thanks

Hi there ,
I can't test it right now,
but you could try something along the lines of ........
under script: change the timer_ending script to something like this

  - id: timer_ending
    then:
      - if:
          condition: 
            - lambda: return (id(time_remaining_0).state => "0:00:00");
      - script.stop: saver_enabled
      - display.page.show: time_remaining_page
      - component.update: s3_box_lcd      
      ```
      I think that should be close to what you need.

Couldn't get that to compile. Changed => to >= which got it to compile but still didn't keep timer countdown page up.

just switched active timer page for idle page so that is now the default. seems ok so far. thanks.
