Hey everyone,

I dropped this in a comment the other day, but I think it deserves its own post. For me, not having Voice PE timers as entities was the one thing keeping me from ditching my Alexa devices. Without them, you can’t put timers on a dashboard or build automations around them.

Once exposed, that limitation is gone:

  • You can use any card (not just the Simple Timer Card I built).
  • You can create automations triggered by timer state or completion.
  • It finally feels like a proper integration, not a hack.

Hopefully this helps others who were stuck like I was. Let me know if you try it out. Curious to see what dashboards (or automations) people come up with!
