Help with showing remaining time in UI

Hey all,
Home Assistant 0.103.5

Im playing around with motion and timers, so that lights come on and go off.
The slider seems to work well, however i want to show in teh UI, how long until the timer is “finished” - eg. you have 1 minute until times is out and the lights go off.

i cant work out how to use the timer, to populate the value from the slider when its triggered dynamically based on when the automation is triggered?

config: 

timer:
  timer_motion_kitchen:
    duration: '00:15:00'  ##<---???????? what should this be, as i want it to be dynamic, based on the slider value used in the automation

input_number:
  timer_kitchen_motion_slider:
    name: Timer Kitchen Motion Timer
    initial: 5
    min: 5
    max: 120
    step: 5

############### kitchen ###############
- id: kitchenlightsonmotion
  alias: kitchen lights on motion
  trigger:
  - entity_id: binary_sensor.motion_sensor_kitchen_motion
    from: 'off'
    platform: state
    to: 'on'
  condition: 
    condition: state
    entity_id: sun.sun
    state: below_horizon
  action:
  service: timer.start
    data:
      entity_id: timer_motion_kitchen
  service: light.turn_on

      entity_id:
        - light.kitchen_deconz

  alias: kithcen lights off no motion slider
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.motion_sensor_kitchen_motion
    to: 'off' 
    for:
      minutes: "{{ states('input_number.timer_kitchen_motion_slider')|int }}"
  action:
  - service: light.turn_off
    data:
      entity_id:
        - light.kitchen_deconz
