 Keep in mind that you should somehow manage the timers you create using `createTimer`, otherwise you could end up with unmanageable timers running until you restart openHAB.
 A possible solution is to store all timers in the [private cache](#cache) and let openHAB automatically cancel them when the script is unloaded and the cache is cleared.
+When using `createTimer`, please read [Accessing Variables](#accessing-variables) to avoid having unexpected results when using variables in timers.
