Automation Timer UI icon

When you create an automation like the following where a switch is turned off 10 minutes after being turned on, it would be nice to see a related timer appear in the UI counting down. I know I could create a timer and two more automations to achieve the same thing, but it seems superfluous.

- alias: Fireplace OFF
  hide_entity: false
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: switch.ecolink_unknown_type0006_id0002_switch
      to: 'on'
      for:
        minutes: 10
  action:
    - service: switch.turn_off
      entity_id: switch.ecolink_unknown_type0006_id0002_switch

There is just no way for home-assistant to know that you want at timer display for that… would really be simpler to create a timer element for that. You can keep your actual automation and just add 1 timer + 1 more automation (that start the timer when the switch is turned on).

I suppose with some complex templating you could display the time since the switch is on, but I don’t think it would refresh itself like a timer would.
