I tested this yesterday and it works like charm. Thank You for great work!

Home Assistant

The way UI looks on my end is Iā€™m actually choosing a time (AM/PM ?) and not the duration itself. I also tried setting it to 00:15 (which I though would be 15 minutes), but it doesnā€™t seem to work (it reverts to 12:15 AM).

To add to my findings. Intensive mode on my KWL 360 is set to 15 minutes both in web interface and EasyControls panel on my wall, but if I activate it from Home Assistant, it seems to activate for 3 hours (thatā€™s whatā€™s displayed on my EasyControls panel).

What is happening if you change the settings (time and fan speed %) in the WebUi and wait 5 mins. Are the changes somehow noticable in the hass sensors?

For me the time field looks like:

in more detail:

Also I can change in hass or in WebUi and the changes are noticable some time (wait at least 1.5 min) in the other view.

Maybe the easy control panel is cousing the sideeffekt, I at least donā€™t have one. Maybe someone else has one and can give feedback to that setup?

Because I think beside that we have the same KWL (please compare):

Hi and thank you for getting back to me. :slight_smile:

Iā€™ve managed to make some progress. The issue with the duration control in UI is that unless you have 24hr format set in your profile, it displays as previously shown on my image (as time with AM/PM). Once I set time format to 24hr, it displays as on your end. Iā€™ve also tested setting the time and it reflects in the settings (both in web interface and in EasyControls panel) so this part works as it should.

Now to the bad newsā€¦ even though the setting is correct, setting Intensive mode still sets the unit to 3 hours instead of set value.

Iā€™ve checked my unit info and indeed we have the same unit, but I have newer SW version installed, so I guess thatā€™s where the issue comes from?

Model: KWL 360 W ET

Type: 40062-002

SW version: 1.0.23

Hi,

interessting, I didnā€™t know, that changing the time format makes such a difference :smiley: .

Are you able to create some wireshark traces and supply them to me, then I may can try to look into it when I find time.

If you need more information about wireshark or what traces I would need, led me know.

Btw, how do you know it is running for 3h? Did you measure the time, or check the status log in home assistant?
