    The HomeSeer timer and counter devices are for display only, they cannot be controlled. As a result you cannot control a counter or timer from the Easy Trigger plug-in. The only way to control a timer from within an event is with the "control a timer" action.

      I started out trying to set a virtual switch with the difference between the two. and I was having trouble with that too. Is that possible?

        yes it's possible, but in your virtual device you need to define a range of values that are controls (or both status and control)
