| Orbit HT25 hose timer | Works Cloud | Works with a Wi-Fi hub; owner tests with itSaved copyWorks fine for me with a Hose Timer (Model HT25). @ingo916 I suspect this is because your device (Orbit 57950) has multiple zones? I don't really know how to unblock this as I don't have the hardware to test / investigate. > nit sure if I missed something in a recent update, but now, when the switch entity is called (to run for 16 mins for example), I t automatically shuts off after the default runtime of the orbit device (which is 10 mins) @bsp9493 - this sounds completely separate, and not related to the `set_manual_preset_runtime` service call. Please open a new issue if so. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #187 · 2023-05 | |
