Daylight saving time (Spring 2016)

No big deal I know but what kind of daylight saving time is this? A 3:00 am routine ran at 1:00 am? :smile:

I always thought SmartThings was ahead of its time. :wink:

Hey it ran! They are popping champagne in the job scheduling department!

Iā€™m glad to say this is the first year I havenā€™t experienced any major (or minor) issues related to DST. Wow no DST headaches this year. Great Job.

Well, they would, but they overslept and missed it because their alarms didnā€™t go off.

So how/when is ST supposed to update for DST? Mine still shows sunset at 5:34 here in San Diego when itā€™s actually 6:55 today after the time change last night

Thanks, Rick

Yeah, I didnā€™t have any new issues because of daylight saving timeā€¦ but when none of my time-based SmartApps have been working for months anyway, I wouldnā€™t expect DST to come into play at all anyway. :smiley:

I had my sunset commands run and hour early on Sunday. I changed them to a specific time and back to Sunset -30. Iā€™m sure everything will be fine today.

I opened a ticket with ST and they got back to me and said they are having issues with DST, ā€œIt looks like our system didnā€™t update for daylight savings. We are aware of the issue and our engineers are actively working on a solution.ā€

My sunrise/sunset is still off by 1 hour as of this evening

I know this doesnā€™t help you guys now, but, my DST stuff ran without a hitch, and on time, with the new scheduler. Iā€™m testing it now :slight_smile:

Make sure to reach out to support, you may need to ā€œupdateā€ your apps.

Mine is also still off as of 01:40 EDT on Tuesday, 15 Mar 2016. (The changeover was nearly two days ago.)

Thursday, 24 Mar 2016, 2:39 am ā€“ There is hope, folks. Today, my 2:30 AM ā€œLights outā€ command finally executed on time, instead of an hour early as it has been doing since DST began 11 days ago. I did nothing at all to change the command in the iOS app. It just ā€¦ fixed itself. You know, the way software is supposed to.
