Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. On a Siemens oven, a timer is usualy used with a program. (example: I cood a cake at 180° for 30 mins. The timer is set to 30 mins) The entity "alarmclock" is a live count down fo this timer.

Problem: this timer state is refreshing frequency is too low, so it is not a reliable way to catch the alarm signal at the end of the countdown.

Describe the solution you'd like "Jeedom" is a home automation system similar to HA with an integration similar to this one (home connect plugin). It integrates a binary field 'alarm' that is very reliable, that's why I'm not worried about the capabilities of the api to transmit the required info. A solution would be to create a binary "alarm ringing" like in this repo: https://github.com/jmvedrine/homeconnect

Describe alternatives you've considered an automation triggered when "alarmclock" == 0 an automation triggered when "alarmclock" < 10 does not work. Triggered some minutes too late Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

The entities are updated when when update events are revived from the API. If you want to react to a program end event you should listen to other types of events. BSH.Common.Status.OperationState will probably be best. If you need help with that you can ask in the the discussions forum.
