Rule does not get historic value of item

Charts show all members of the group you are charting, so you will need to create another group, add Group1 to it, and then chart the new group.

This seems very odd. Do you mean that before restarting OH, there are no values persisted, and after restarting OH, there are an hour of values available? I’m curious what you see in PersistenceViewer before and after.
