UserTimer1

This piece of code creates a timer for Hubitat.

:!: Because of limitations in the Rule Machine v4, it's not possible to create a proper timer. Instead, the timer is represented as a switch (with on/off capabilities) and an attribute (timeElapsed).

Setup

1. Go to Drivers Code => New Driver => Import => https://github.com/tomnil/hubitat/blob/main/UserTimer1.groovy => Save.
2. Create a virtual Switch (yes, a switch) of the type "UserTimer1". Name it as you like.

Add to Rule Machine 4

Triggering

• Add a new rule
• Use any trigger you'd like (Example "Hue Motion Sensor")
• When triggered, execute Switch => On (timer starts)

Checking the value

• Select Trigger Events
  • Select Capability for new Trigger event (dropdown)
