The `time.timer` module emits only one message after a specified duration. Sending any message to this module will reset the timer.

<SchemaInfo type="module" id="time.timer"></SchemaInfo>

### Example snippet

Emits a message 5 seconds after the module is initialized

```yaml
- id: 5secs
  type: time.timer
    params:
      duration: 5000
```
