Creating a Home Assistant timer from pyscript does not seem to work?

[redlefloh]

Hi not a super critical issue, since I can always create timers as helpers in the HA UI, but just out of curiosity, is there a way to actually create a timer directly from pyscript or is this even a bug? The intuitive: state.set('timer.my_demo_timer', duration="0:00:02", editable=True, restore=True, friendly_name="My Demo Timer") kinda works and sort of creates a timer entity, but it does not actually work as a timer?

I run a test and created two timers, one with the state.set() call above and one with the HA UI:

But as you can see, the first one is not really a timer, i.e. it does not have the Start button?

the second one has:

Now the entity seems to be available as timer in pyscript and the entity even auto.expands as timer in jupyter:

But if I call for example: timer.my_demo_timer.start(2) the timer does not actually start?

here is the Notebook:

This seems to be a bug unless I am not doing things correctly?

And for copmpleteness, here is a file "Test timer in pyscript.ipynb" in case someone wants to replicate. The only thing to do is to create the "My Demo Timer 2" as a helper in in HA and then load the notebook and run every cell in order.
