You can prettify the visualization of the card by adding name:'my name' or icon:my-mdi-icon properties (you can do this per group, per entity, per domain and per action). Sometimes, however, there seems to be a bit of a crunch at the interface between program code and frontend integration. This is close to what you are looking for: I did create a timer that would work on any entity using a handful of components and automations, but you are creating a timer yourself.

A single switch to turn this behavior on and off could be manually flipped or automated by other events by more advanced users.
