ninja-timer

A NinjaBlocks driver to time things!

You can create as many timers as you wish that will count the time elapsed in minutes since the ninja client has been started, but can also be set to any number using the API or the rules.

For example, to handle automatic away status so you don't have to worry again about pushing buttons

• Create a timer called away
• Create a webhook in the dashboard
• Use on{x} to make your phone call the webhook every 5 minutes while the phone is connected to your home wifi http://forums.ninjablocks.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/6907#Comment_6907
• Create a rule that sets the away timer to 0 when the webhook is called
• Create a rule that enables your alarm if away timer > 10
• Create a rule that disables heating if away timer > 60
