Hi Daniel, i believe that needs more context. CreateTimer needs a number and some info´s how long etc…

an example:

if (Washingmachine_OpState2.state == MODE_ACTIVE) {

            if(tWashing_Machine === null) {
                logInfo("washing", "Timer created.")
                tWashing_Machine = createTimer(now.plusMinutes(5), [ |
                    Washingmachine_OpState2.postUpdate(MODE_FINISHED)
                    logInfo("washing", "Timer expired. Washing Machine FINISHED.")
                    tWashing_Machine = null
                ])
            }
        }

If you want to start the timer when a certain time has come, you need a comparison of 2 dates first and than start a timer for a certain amount of time ( seconds, minutes, hours … )

Here is a good example how to do date comparison:

or more simple:

val startdate = (RolladenControlCalendar_1_start.state as DateTimeType).getZonedDateTime()

if (now.isAfter(startdate)) {   do stuff ....for example create a timer...
