take a look at node-red-contrib-mytimeout that you could feed to a change node to change the time to hh:mm format then to a ui\_text node. You could also send it to a ui\_guage in donut mode to have a visual countdown. That is what I juse in my [Coffee Pot Timer](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/coffee-pot-timer/4743) project
