Create countdown based on dialogue entry to trigger action

[Freakadude]

Hi,

I have following scenario i would like to solve but am stuck:

I have a smart plug in my home which i can control (on/off) via HTTP requests. I want to create a flow where when i execute it via a shortcut from my home screen i get an input dialogue asking me for the amount of time to use for a countdown (i.e.: 5h39m30s, or 600m , etc) then once i have given the time the countdown/timer should start somewhere in the background. Once the set countdown has elapsed it shall trigger the last action in the flow which is a HTTP POST request.

The HTTP Post request works fine however i am stuck in finding out how i could setup the input dialogue and the countdown based on above description.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Here is an example flow if you your required time is less than 24hr.

Here is another example if you want to put it manually like 5h30m10s

Replace http request action with yours. I have chosen Time in input Dialog.

Method 1 (preferred) require Global Variable Date/Time trigger. In Global Variable Date/Time enable options which you require.
