Calculated run time always 2,5h #1

No matter what time i input, the calculated runtime is always 2,5?

kotope commented 3 years ago

Runtime is calculated from outside temperature. So most probably the temperature is less than -25 degrees celsius or the sensor cannot be read correctly.

I suggest verifying the temperature sensor value or weather service (if in use).

I got the same problem as above. I have tried to use my own temperature sensor and SMHI weather service with no result. Its just say 2.5 hour all the time. Im not that familiar to automations yet. This is what I have tried (I want to use my own temperature sensor)

states.sensor.out_temp sensor.out_temp states.weather.smhi_hemma.attribtutes.temperature
