Sorry for a late reply. The timer needs to play a sound file once the time has got to 1m 4s, 2m 10s, 3m 16s, 4m 22s and so on... I will have about 30 times and it would also be a huge help if the color can change from green to red 10 seconds before the elapsed time is reached. Then after the time ha...
