Timer Counts Down Quickly
freemchr opened this issue · 9 comments
Great add on thank you! Really appreciated
however I setup today as per instructions and noticed that if I start a manual start of 30 mins in length it starts counting down from 30, then in a minute ends up at 7 mins, then 3 mins or so then stops.
Any ideas? Thanks again.
Hi can you send me you configuration settings.
Also the HA version and app version you are running.
Cheers

2024.3.1
And latest from HACS 5.4.9
Was only installed tonight
Configs are same as the tutorial.
Is there a way I can send this to you?
A screenshot will be fine
One thing to verify is if you are using sensor inputs to any of the configuration components they are not changing during the watering time, this could impact the runtime.
These are all the settings.
The flow sensor entity is just how much water has been used eg 1L or 3L through the timer.
Flow sensor is litres per minute, when you use the flow sensor the watering 'time' becomes watering 'litres'. So the higher the flow rate the shorter the remaining time.
Makes sense that fixed it thank you.
What settings do you recommend to detect that if rain In area don’t water?
Check out openweathermaphistory, on hacs.
This one looks at history and forecast rainfall to create an adjustment to watering, if you had a little rain it waters less if you have al Iot it stops the watering.
