In that case I’m at a loss. The behavior is not expected. What I would try:

- Use a Switch or Contact and see if that makes a difference
- Use db40 (if on OH 1.8) or SQLite instead of rrd4j and see if that makes a difference
- Punt and upgrade to the [Influx+Grafana solution](https://community.openhab.org/t/influxdb-grafana-persistence-and-graphing/13761)
