I basically want my outdoor lights to stay on for 15 minutes after the last sensed motion from the motion detectors. So how do I extend the running timer that would be triggered by the first motion event? Or any other better solutions (I tried pulse, and it went badly).
Iāve actually got some changes pending for the pulse adapter that will allow you to do exactly what youāre asking for. The new version should be available in the next few days.
A ārestartā-action would be a rather intuitive thing for a (running) timer.
And btw, I really appreciate seeing the timer count now.
The timer adapter is maintained by a third party developer (@t1m1). If there are other things that would be helpful in that adapter, Iām sure heād be happy to hear your suggestions.

Hi, Iām the author of the timer adapter.
You can find it here.
If you have any problems or ideas for improvements just submit an issue I will see what I can do.

Thank you for the positive feedback 
I agree. Nice addition. I have discovered that adding a timer reset to the final timer action works rather well. So āTimer Expired, turn on/off device and reset timer at the same timeā. It does not fix the renewing of the timer before expiring, but seems to work more cleanly on a timer reset than my previous method. I too wish there was a way to reset before expiring. As long as motion continues, it will not expire.

I added a restart action to the timer.
As soon @mrstegeman merges https://github.com/mozilla-iot/addon-list/pull/570 the new update will be available.

Yes, ty. Iāve got multiple rules to rewrite when I get time.
Iām glad you are all happy with the update.
