Ah yes, I forgot to mention that bit 😊.

As far as I know, the remaining time of the timer is not directly available as a tag. Instead, I am using an Enhanced Virtual Device that includes the remaining time as a capability.

 ![EVD Timer Capability](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/7/a723459f775b172ce57d81d881a01036d3b904b8.png)

In an Enhanced Virtual Device you can select timers/stopwatches from the Chronograph app as a source for capabilities.

Next, in the flow I use a WHEN card from the Enhanced Virtual Device app, that triggers when there is a change in a capability, as the trigger for the DataVista Label widget. In this case a change in the remaining timer value:

That card also provides a Value (‘Waarde’) tag that holds the current value of the changed capability. In this case the remaining timer value.
