When you want to delete the playtime limit, but want to keep the bedtime alarm, you need to set the playtime limit to not defined.
But It looks like you are not able in home assistant to set it to not defined

Describe the solution you'd like

If i am correct, the maximum time which you can set is 6 hours.
Perhaps an option would be if you set it to higher then 6 hours it is changed to "not defined"
Perhaps with a warning message?

Describe alternatives you've considered

A binary switch?

Okay I found out, that every "wrong" value (e.g. 2:04:24) leads to not defined.
Which is a little bit problematic for my automations, but good for using it to set not defined XD

Have to correct me, the app shows not defined but in really it's defined...

@pantherale0 Can you give me a Hint what code i have to change to be able to set more than 6 hours?
Looks like the API don't accept values higher than 6 hours :(

[pantherale0]

@JokerGermany yep, was going to say, the API will not allow higher than 6 hours.

Will see if I can work on the outstanding issues today/tomorrow

Next version will replace the time entity with a number entity that when set to -1 should set the play time limit to not defined... unfortunately the app seems to do some different things to what I was expecting so while the "support" will be there, it currently doesn't work as intended though.

This has been implemented now and due to be released in 2024.5.0, apologies for the delay.

Looks good, will implement it in my scripts in a couple of hours, thanks
