Hi all,
I need some help with getting information from a timer in Node Red back onto my HA dashboard.
Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated. I will be adding my flow in the comments if someone wants to look into it more.

Hey Wally when you post your code like that it makes it hard to copy.
I dont use that countdown node but this is how I set a countdown entity. I am already using an input_number to set my timer that I want to see countdown on my dash.

It watches a switch that is turned on by a timer. When the switch turns on, it sets the counter to whatever the input_number in the change node is. Converts the input_number seconds to milliseconds then formatted to minutes and second to an entity node.
Thanks, I have updated my post.
I have tried your setup and it doesn’t seem to work for me, I will keep playing around with it when I get the time
