Abstract

Systems and methods for timer visualization are disclosed. A device, such as a voice-controlled device, may not have means of visually displaying a timer and/or the progression of a timer. The device may send timer data to an accessory device, which may be configured to provide one or more visual indications of the timer set via the device as well as the progression of the timer. Multiple timers may be sent and differing visual indications may be displayed to show the multiple timers and/or attributes associated with the timers, such as the location of the device in an environment, the user profile associated with the setting of the timer, and/or the state of the device.
