Enchancement: Pairing timer about zigbee2mqttassistant HOT 4 CLOSED

1. ✅ It works.
2. ✅ It work, the timer stopped as soon it's going back to off
3. ✅ It works the same way as #1 - because the timer is started when listening from MQTT
4. ✅ Similar to #2
5. ✅ Tested and it work
6. ✅
7. ✅ Not tested, but it should work. The Z2MA may send a turn off request if the timer expires while Z2M is offline. Not really a problem.

@ciotlosm Thanks!

I was planning this feature too... but there's a problem with the "timer button"... because there's many scenarios where the timer won't work...

• If you restart Z2MA
• If you are using another mean to activate the join...

My solution would be to activate a allowJoinTimeout in the settings which would be activated no matter how you activated the feature. What do you think?

For posterity

Use cases:

1. Start pairing, wait time and stop

   • send enable pairing
   • start timer
   • timer finished
   • app disables pairing

2. Start paring but stop before timer

   • send enable pairing
   • start timer
   • manual disable pairing
   • cancel timer

3. Someone sends pairing request

   • Listen on mqtt
   • pairing request recevied from elsewhere
   • start timer
   • timer finished
   • app disables pairing

4. Someone stops pairing remove

   • send enable pairing
   • start timer
   • stop pairing recevied
   • cancel timer

5. Restart container during pairing

   • container starts
   • container asks status from z2m
   • container starts timer if pairing in progress
   • normal flow continues

6. Start container (normal start)

   • container starts
   • container checks if pairing in progree
   • if no pair in progress, do nothing

7. Container is running, pairing in progress, user restarts z2m

   • pair started
   • timer started
   • user restarts z2m (has pairing by default off) - any way to check stop status?
   • z2m starts
   • z2m sends status
   • cancel timer (do not send pairing stop)
