Alexa Media Player - multiple times

Configuration
1

I’ve just setup the Alexa Media Player integration. Got it working with a template sensor to show the time countdown on my dashboard (albeit the update interval isnt that fast but its good enough). However once the first timer ends, it doesn’t seem to then show the time remaining on the second timer (which i’d assumed would become the “next timer” in the entity. Is this possible?

Please show the template sensor and dashboard card you are using.

             {{ ((as_timestamp(states('sensor.kitchen_show_next_timer')) - as_timestamp(now()))/60) | int + 1 }}
           {% else %}
               0
           {% endif %}

Just using an entity card to display it

I agree that it should just roll over to the next timer… but it might take a full minute before the dashboard update is visible.

If you’re interested, I use this Markdown card to show a list of all active timers on all my echo devices.
