Automating Timers on Home Assistant Voice PE for Wake-up Alerts

I just bought the Home Assistant Voice PE which works really nicely! However I miss one feature that I used to have with Google Nest, which is the ability to add alarms to wake me up.
I understand that alarms are not supported, but timers can work as an alternative. I could setup a timer a few minutes before bed, but I would have to do it every night which would be difficult to do, so I am looking a way to automate this.

The idea would be to have an automation run 1 hour before a calendar event to ask the device to create a timer in 1 hour.
This way, even if I wake up a few minutes earlier, I could glance at the LED ring and check how much time I have left of sleep.

Can timers be set on the device through automations and if so, which service call is needed to run to accomplish this?

Why not just make an automation to play a sound on the media player when you want to wake up?

I assume by looking at the code it has a media player?

This could work, but I want to retain the Timer features like having the LED ring display the time left, but more importantly I want to be able to stop the timer by saying the “Stop” command.
