Timer should have a when finish

[crua9]

Describe your request

Currently we need to make a manual event to tell the system to use a timer finish as a trigger. Like right now we can get it to trigger when it goes idle. But when you cancel the timer, it also goes idle. But if you want it to trigger on finish so a cancel doesn't trigger it. Then you have to go use a round about way of telling the system this.

This is what I see when I use the normal method. Note finish isn't included.

Why the uncertainty?

No response

Use cases

So lets say some smoke detector goes off. I want it to trigger and then loop until a clear happens. Since the current system is using idle, if I don't use the manual event. even a cancel will trigger since a cancel is idle.

Like if the automation cancels it will trigger it again.

What areas might this affect?

The UI. When you make automations. This is more of a qualify of life thing. Likely something that will help newer people since the current system is a bit confusing on this.

Anything else?

I can't think of a use case right now, and I'm not sure if it is possible. But maybe a similar trigger for cancel.
