I don't understand the timer workflow

[AndreKR]

So how am I supposed to add a feeding using the timer?

I start the timer, then I call the "Add feeding" service with entity_id of the timer and also timer = True and then when the feeding ends I turn off the timer? That doesn't work for me, the feeding is created with identical start and end time and is never updated.

Calling a service with an active timer passed in should consume the timer and use the timer's start instant.

Ah yes, it does now. Turns out I didn't actually set timer to True.
