Describe the bug

min_on_time_per_day_min value seems not preventing device from starting at the offpeak_time.
Boiler_ECS has run for 242 minutes today, but arriving at offpeak_time 22:05, he switched on again. He stay on until the max_on_time_per_day_min is reached.

Something wrong in my conf ?

Thanks for your help

Hello @Superdada44 ,

your config seems good.
What I see from the logs:

2024-11-20 22:06:05.013 we should force Boiler_ECS name
2024-11-20 22:06:05.013 Allumage de Boiler_ECS

Donc en effet, il y a eu un démarrage offpeak.

A 22:06 je vois que le on_time était de 14520 sec soit 4 h piles:

2024-11-20 22:06:05.316 Boiler_ECS - Set on_time=14520

So it seems to have a bug.
I see you have restarted HA at 18h23, maybe it has reset something.
Can you please, try to not restart today to see if the bug persist.

An please, next time send the attributes of the Boiler_ECS device (Development Tools/States) after 22:05 and before the reset time (05:00 ?). It will give me all the values used for calculation.

[Superdada44]

Thanks for your analysis ! :-)
we had snow today, so no device reached the min... I'll hope to be able to add more information tomorow !

[jmcollin78]

Hello,

yes same for me. Almost 10 cm.

so no device reached the min

yes so they will all start off-peak. It has started at home (22:00)

when you configure like that:

min_on_time_per_day_min: 0
max_on_time_per_day_min: 960
offpeak_time: "22:05"

what do you want to do exactly ? You want to always start offpeak or you want to never start offpeak ?

[Superdada44]

Hello,

Yes, he start correctly yesterday at the offpeak hour. And when during the day, the max_on_time_per_day_min is reached he also stop correctly.

Yes, with the value "min_on_time_per_day_min: 0" I expect that he never start during offpeak hours. So it's like "solar only".
I use that for the air dryer, it's not mandatory that he run every day.

Have a good day !

Ok, it should then starts if there is 0 minutes (on_time <= min_on_time). You rather should remove the min_on_time_per_day_min and offpeak_time for this device.

[jmcollin78]

I keep the issue open for a week. Let me know if you have reproduce the case.

[Superdada44]

Thanks for the min_on_time_per_day_min=0, I will remove it.

The boiler just reached the min value today ! So here is the value of sensor.on_time_today_solar_optimizer_boiler_ecs and in attached the debug log.

Does it start offpeak ?

[Superdada44]

Yes, the problem is still present, Boiler_ECS switched on at 22:06:08, and off at 1:30:08.
