v1.0.6 — Release Notes

New optional setting

  • timer_and_entity_connected_via_automation
    Default value is true.

If you’ve already connected your timer and device with an automation or script etc., start button will start the timer to trigger the automation.

However, now you do not need to connect your timer and entity via automation if you set this to false. The card will start the timer and switch at the same time automatically and when the timer is finished card will turn off the switch automatically without a need of automation. This also means you can use the same timer for different entities on the card. For example, if you have 6 different entities from different domains but they all need 10 minutes timer, set this option to false, just create 1 timer and use it for all on the card config

Support New Domains

  • Works with more device types. The card can now control not only switches, but also covers/blinds, locks, and media players, input_booleans, automations, sirens etc. The Start/Stop buttons trigger the right action for each device (e.g., close/open for covers, lock/unlock for locks).
    For example you can now close your covers for 10 minutes and it open it when the timer is finished.

Quality of life upgrades

  • Smarter “Active” status. The card now interprets “active” in a way that makes sense for each device type:

    • Cover: closed is considered active.
    • Lock: unlocked is considered active.
    • Media player: playing/streaming/on is considered active.
    • Other devices: on is active.
      This keeps the status badge and progress bar consistent across devices.
  • Start & Stop flow that matches reality.

    • Start: Turns on/activates the device and starts the timer.
    • Stop: Finishes the timer and safely turns the device off.

Visuals & text

  • Status badge, progress bar, labels, and time formatting remain clear and customizable. Existing icon/color/text tweaks continue to work.
  • Time labels now include minute/second unit customization for cleaner displays (e.g., 3m 07s).

What stays the same (so your setup doesn’t break)

  • The overall look & feel of the card, title area, time formats, “last run” info, and theme‑friendly colors are preserved. Your current configuration keeps working.

Quick comparison

  • v1.0.5: Focused on a switch + timer. Stop finished the timer and turned the switch off. Start only started the timer.
  • v1.0.6: Multi‑device support, device‑aware actions, automatic turn‑off when the timer ends, and a new option to play nicely with existing automations.
