Describe the issue you are experiencing

My timer helper doesn't show remaining time in sections dashboard. Functionality is unaffected in masonry layout, works fine. I'm using the entity card

Describe the behavior you expected

I'm using the entity card (as I do in masonry dashboards) to display a timer but it won't countdown when "remaining" attribute is displayed. Once the timer is triggered it goes from idle to just showing the timer duration but never counting down. When I click details I Can see the timer counting down though

Steps to reproduce the issue

Create a sections page of a dashboard 2.add by entity 3.add timer 4.add to dashboard 5.edit entity
Select Appearance >state content >remaining
Start timer and it will only show the set time not the remaining

Are you sure you are using the Entity card? Not a Tile card?

Functionality is unaffected in masonry layout, works fine.

Tile card in masonry layout does not update "remaining" as well.

This is expected behavior.

The remaining attribute on the timer does not count down when it runs, so if you display that attribute it will also not count down.

Entities card has special code to display the countdown timer. If you want a live countdown, you can add your timer to an entities card.

Anything beyond that is a new feature request.
