When a timer finishes or gets canceled the corresponding events are fired. This allows you to differentiate if a timer has switched from `active` to `idle` because the given duration has elapsed or it has been canceled. To control timers in your automations you can use the actions mentioned below. When calling the `start` action on a timer that is already running, it resets the duration it will need to finish and restarts the timer without triggering a canceled or finished event. This, for example, makes it easy to create timed lights that get triggered by motion. Starting a timer triggers a started event unless the timer is paused, in that case, it triggers a restarted event.
