User defined countdown timer

Hi. I'm new to Power Apps and not good with code. I've pieced together how to make a countdown timer. I have the timer and buttons for start, stop, reset, and set timer, and an alarm sound file.

I found how to adjust the timer length but it only easily allows whole numbers or 15 min increments like 4.25 or 4.75. I would like it to allow anything, i.e. 4min 55sec without having to guess what the decimal values are.

This is the formula for my Set Timer button, Reset(Timer1);UpdateContext({timerVal:Value(TimeTextbox.Text)*60000}); The text box name is TimeTextbox. Can I do this with one text input or will I need say 3 boxes? One each for hh, mm, ss?

If you don't trust people to format text inputs correctly (which you probably haven't learned yet that you shouldn't), I would recommend 3 text inputs. Your formula will then look like:
Reset(Timer1); UpdateContext( {timerVal:Value(SecondsTextBox.Text)*1000 + Value(MinutesTextBox.Text)*60*1000 + Value(HoursTextBox.Text)*60*60*1000} );
