Waybar timer

Hey,
I recently made a timer script for my waybar. Maybe someone else may want to use it, so here it is.
Also, is there maybe another way of doing it or does anyone have suggestions on how to make it a bit better?

Put this inside the waybar config file:

"custom/timer": {
    "tooltip": false,
    "min-length": 5,
    "exec": "$HOME/.config/waybar/modules/timer.sh",
    "on-click": "date --date='5 minutes' +%s > /var/tmp/waybar_timer",
    "on-click-right": "echo READY > /var/tmp/waybar_timer",
    "on-click-middle": "date --date='1 minute' +%s > /var/tmp/waybar_timer",
    "on-scroll-up": "date --date='5 seconds' +%s > /var/tmp/waybar_timer",
    "on-scroll-down": "date --date='30 minutes' +%s > /var/tmp/waybar_timer",
    "interval": 1
}

Put this into $HOME/.config/waybar/modules/timer.sh or make changes according to another path inside the waybar config file. Also you need a timer.wav sound file.

#!/bin/sh

CUR_TIME=$(date +%s)
STATUS=$(cat /var/tmp/waybar_timer)

if [ $STATUS == "READY" ]; then
	echo ""
elif [ $STATUS == "FINISHED" ]; then
    mpv $HOME/.config/waybar/modules/timer.wav &
	echo "READY" > /var/tmp/waybar_timer
	echo ""
elif [[ $STATUS > $CUR_TIME ]]; then
	DIFF=$(( (STATUS - CUR_TIME) ))
	echo $( date -d @$DIFF +%M:%S )
else
	if [ -f "/var/tmp/waybar_timer" ]; then
		echo "FINISHED" > /var/tmp/waybar_timer
		echo ""
	else
		echo "READY" > /var/tmp/waybar_timer
		echo ""
	fi
