Oops. Now I understand better! This is a change needed in BWAlarm to support the timer function in your panel!
Now it is more clear!
One other alarm panel (arming/disarming) function that is not present is the “override” function from BWAlarm. With that system, if something is open, then when you try to arm it throws a warning. You can cancel or “override”. Override will then ignore the open sensors and arm, but if/when those sensors close they become armed as well. We generally will not leave with something open (winds are unpredictable), but often the door is already open when we are setting the alarm. I suspect though that this is a rather large change and better to wait for BWAlarm new front panel.
Yes, the bwalarm’s approach to that was nicer. With my card, and using the manual alarm instead of bwalarm, it simply allows you to arm even with open sensors. I didn’t see a good way of implementing the warning/override thing with the manual alarm.

I tested John’s lovelace card with the proposed changes, and it does make the countdown work. This is a decent solution as a temporary while BWAlarm card is rebuilt. I combine it in a vertical stack with an entity filter card which only shows sensors that are “tripped”, so I can see at a glance what is open and preventing setting the alarm.
So are Johns’s changes and Lovelace card being incorporated into the main branch or a new fork? Sorry still learning github how works and not sure what a pull means.
Not sure if this has been posted, but I’m seeing this in my log.

The panel part is not functional and needs to be rewritten completely, that’s the main issue.
And yes, I’m going to fix an issue with manifest key soon but it only affects users with current HA.
with bwalarm I have code to be able to disarm the wings but now I give it to disarm and disarm the alarm without the code, how can I make it ask for it, since in the resources file if I have to ask for code
You probably already know, but this happens after the latest update 2021.5.0.
