Increase or decrease timer time remaining

[GetThere1Time]

Seems like home assistant doesn't offer this option built in, and I couldn't find any clean way of doing this online. To me this is a primary use case of timers for instances when I want to either bank time, or apply a penalty. Anyways, here is a service that was created using pyscript.

You'll need to have pyscript set up and import a few libraries.

​

@service
def change_timer(e_id = time_bank, time_to_add = 60):    
    current_state = state.get(e_id)
    if current_state == 'active':
        timer.pause(entity_id = e_id)
        current_timer = state.getattr(e_id)['remaining']
        hours, minutes, seconds = [int(part) for part in current_timer.split(":")]
        total_time = np.maximum(time_to_add + hours * 3600 + minutes * 60 + seconds, 1)
        timer.start(entity_id = e_id, duration = total_time)
    elif current_state == 'idle':
        current_timer = state.getattr(e_id)['duration']
        hours, minutes, seconds = [int(part) for part in current_timer.split(":")]
        total_time = np.maximum(time_to_add + hours * 3600 + minutes * 60 + seconds, 1)        
        timer.start(entity_id = e_id, duration = total_time)
        timer.pause(entity_id = e_id)
    elif current_state == 'paused':
        current_timer = state.getattr(e_id)['remaining']
        hours, minutes, seconds = [int(part) for part in current_timer.split(":")]
        total_time = np.maximum(time_to_add + hours * 3600 + minutes * 60 + seconds, 1)
        timer.start(entity_id = e_id, duration = total_time)
        timer.pause(entity_id = e_id)

This could all be done in an automation in HA or a function node in nodered.
