Fetching Timers from Voice PE

[HowlingCoder]

Hey all ,
I just received my (awesome) Home Assistant Voice PE’s and I already love them!

Currently I’m trying to get infos about the timers which are currently running on the devices so I could start some automations once a timer ran out (e.g. Alarm clock rings and blinds open).

AFAIK there is no direct way for me to find out whether there are any timers running on my Voice PE’s except via Voice Assistant — ESPHome onTimerStarted which would take an Automation as input. This would solve this in theory (I guess) but I wondered:

Is there is a more generalized way to get the timers of all devices (including Android, Voice PE, etc.) without manually patching their config?

Also I would like to monitor any timers set via the Android companion app. I’m not sure if there is a global sync with the home assistant instance or if each device manages this in its own.

Thanks in advance and have nice holidays!
Max

WTH Proper Dashboard Timers

Yeah, we wonder that too! We went with the current approach so we can postpone that decision and then we got distracted with other priorities. The challenge is that we have timer helper entities and they are not the same as temporary timers created by Assist. Should Assist timers exist as entities? What is their entity ID? How can one add them to a dashboard if they are created and deleted on the fly?
