I have a broken ankle and it's hard to move around right now. I set a timer on my Google Home Hub device when I was in my kitchen and then sat down in my living room recliner. Later, I wanted to know how much time was left on the timer but without getting up. So I first looked in my Google Home app on my Android phone to check on the timer from the device options in the app but it doesn't have that as an option in the app. So I asked Google Assistant, "How much time is left on my timer on the Kitchen hub?" Its replied, "It looks like you don't have any timers set at the moment. Is there a way to check the status of a timer that's set on a device in another room from where I currently am?

At this point there does not seem to be a way to check on timers on other devices, I have a number of google home devices and have to be aware of that.  What I tend to do is, if I know I am leaving the area, I bring my phone with me and set the timer on the phone.  Not an ideal solution, but has proven to work at least.

Hi All,

First, thank you Ashepherdson for your response. I appreciate your help! Also, please let me know if you have any questions too! 

Hi Cyndie Smith, thanks for your post. I just wanted to check in, do you have any other questions or concerns? I would be more than happy to answer your question.

Just a heads up, feel free to reach out to the Google Assistant Help Community Forum as well, since this is more related to the Google Assistant timer feature than the Google Nest/Hub device itself.

Thank you both and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
