I don’t know why, but I keep having issues with my automation that sums the hourly runtimes I get from my PLC controller. It was working fine today until I rebooted my HA to add a trusted network.
Every hour this automation should run. If I use the automation troubleshooting toll in the Supervisor, It looks like it is running each hour, but the values are not updating. I don’t think these are candidates for the history sensor as the values reset to zero by my PLC each hour. I also pasted the individual sensors into the Developer Tools - template and proved the sensors all have data.
Is there a better/more reliable method to accomplish this? Thank you in advance.
