Every time I create a manual recipe and add a timer, it just doesn’t work. It doesn’t seem to matter if I set it to start automatically or manually. The timer does run, sort of. If I set it for 15 minutes, it will periodically tick off a second or two but that’s totally useless. This is really starting to irritate me. I shouldn’t have to use an external timer but apparently, I do.

Using firmware 1.2.7.
