A great feature to have is to be able to assign a variable to the time in the timer. This would allow a timer to be programmed in the configuration, but the actual time of the timer to be set by the end user (via screen input), or dynamically by other events.

Hello mbowdich,

Right now the same goal can be achieved by using variables to count the number of cycles of a fixed timer, set a limit, and compare the count to the limit in order to fire an event.
You can see an example here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=486

A variable timer would make this simpler so we will consider its implementation for future releases.

Thank you for your suggestion.
