Allow variables in Tasker plugin configuration #143

Description

@pudah

Hello,

TimeR Machine is a great tool. Probably the most flexible timer application I've come across. And I really like the Tasker integration.

I would like to ask for an enhancement.

Would it be possible to update the Tasker plugin configuration to allow for use of a variable to specify the applicable timer in addition to the existing ability to select the timer from a list? This would enhance the flexibility of timer automation.

    Could you elaborate on the enhancement? Do you mean that Tasker can send the name of a timer, and the app can start it?

    Yes, that's what I mean.

    As the plugin exists today, the user must select a timer from a list.

    I propose that in addition to picking a timer from a list, that the user be able to enter a Tasker variable. This would allow the user to pass a variable containing the name of the desired timer to the task. In this way the same task could be called from different contexts instead of having to create separate tasks for every timer.
