vbPhil Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) My Polisy did not adjust to Daylight Saving last night. In fact, the Admin Console time is showing Saturday at 11:39pm. It's actually, Sunday at 7:39am. No where in the World is it still Saturday right now. I wonder what screwed up. IoX version 5.5.9. Edited March 12, 2023 by vbPhil added IoX version
vbPhil Posted March 12, 2023 Author Posted March 12, 2023 Did a Reboot and it's got the day correct but the time is one hour off, still at Standard instead of Daylight Saving.
DennisC Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 I have an eisy and two Polisy running v5.5.9 and all handled daylight savings time correctly. I can see your location from your screenshot, is it correct?
vbPhil Posted March 12, 2023 Author Posted March 12, 2023 I verified Polisy date via SSH and it agrees with the AC, but it is indicating Mountain Standard Time (MST). So, it's doing everything right except it doesn't know about Daylight Time. I notice in the AC that the Daylight Standard checkbox is checked but greyed out. Why would it be greyed out? [admin@polisy ~]$ date Sun Mar 12 07:13:11 MST 2023

[admin@polisy ~]$ date Sun Mar 12 07:13:11 MST 2023 Mie is greyed out also. I'm guessing here, but I would think it is programmed based on the location setting. Important thing is it is checked. How about looking in the error log and see if there is anything there? Afterwards, try rebooting again, now that the date is correct, it might realize the time needs to be updated.
vbPhil Posted March 12, 2023 Author Posted March 12, 2023 I changed the Location to Denver and it adjusted the clock display correctly to Daylight Saving. Changed it back to Albuquerque and it adjusted the clock back to Standard time.

Did another Reboot but it's still showing Standard Time. I guess I need to read up on how Unix reconciles time zones.
DennisC Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 I would encourage you to save a copy of the log and report your test results to UD so they can investigate if it is a bug.
Solution vbPhil Posted March 12, 2023 Author Solution Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) On 3/12/2023 at 8:35 AM, DennisC said: Sounds like a bug that needs to be reported. I see the problem. The list of Locations shown when selecting the AC Change Location button is wrong for Albuquerque. It shows the Albuquerque Daylight Saving Rule is America/Phoenix, it should be America/Denver. Phoenix does not change to Daylight Saving. I wonder when that rule was changed. I've never had this problem before. Update 3-14-2023, UDI contacted and will resolve in the next update. Edited March 14, 2023 by vbPhil added UDI feedback
vbPhil Posted March 12, 2023 Author Posted March 12, 2023 I put in a Service Ticket. Could I be the only one in Albuquerque with this issue? 1
brians Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) I am in central BC and did not update time correctly, still an hour behind. Edit: After fiddling with it for a while, changing location other than my custom one, couple Polisy reboots due to IoX crashing etc. I got it working. Seems unnecessary for a simple DST update. Edited March 13, 2023 by brians
Geddy Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 @vbPhil Not in ABQ, but have issues this time as well. Time was correct in admin console, but sunrise/sunset were an hour later than expected. Crazy! Didn't notice this until a program didn't trigger that's set for 3 hours after sunset (normally not a problem in ATL), but that made it after midnight (next day) and it didn't trigger. Rebooting seemed to get the time back on track. Very strange indeed. In my case I have a "Custom" location set, but it does pick it to be "America/New_York" for Daylight Saving Rule. So it knew what it should be at least. 1
larryllix Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 I would encourage every user to petition their politicians to stop this DST nonsense. Many locations have. Just wait until fall, when your ISY has two 1:30 AMs to deal with in the same night. Then what? What will a program loop that executes every ten minutes do? What about a program that executes at 1:45 AM do? 2:00 AM? This will never be working properly for all program logic. 1
vbPhil Posted March 13, 2023 Author Posted March 13, 2023 My ticket was responded to by @Michel Kohanimthis morning to say that it will be fixed in the next update.
DennisC Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) Previously, I posted that both my eisy and Polisy updated based on DST correctly. While that is true, none of my time based programs on Polisy ran on 3/12. They automatically started running on their own at midnight on 3/13. Time based programs ran correctly on eisy. Edited March 13, 2023 by DennisC Clarified problem was on Polisy only.

Same here on my Polisy. I have a program that turns a light on at 9PM every night and then turns it off at sunrise. It's been running fine for years. Last night, 3/12 it never turned on at 9. It says its next run time is 3/13 @ 9. Looks like time based programs took the night off on Polisy.
apostolakisl Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) My Polisy also did not adjust for DST (still on Standard time). I believe that my programs still ran correctly, but probably wrong by an hour. I was out for the evening both Sat and Sunday night so didn't notice. Time zone is set within the admin console to the correct location and the DST box is checked (but greyed out). In PG3, I see no time settings. In PG2 I have the location set, but there is no DST setting available. I don't know anywhere else you might set the time zone. Do I need to change my location to get the time correct until a fix comes out for this? Of course changing my location will screw up sunrise/sunset. Edited March 13, 2023 by apostolakisl

Of course changing my location will screw up sunrise/sunset. I would suggest, if you haven't yet, try a shutdown/restart first. If that doesn't work then I don't think there is another option except changing location. You might get luck and find a location close enough that it has the same sunrise/sunset hours. I would also suggest opening a support ticket with your location information so UD is aware of an issue with your specific location. I opened a support ticket regarding programs not running until the next day on Polisy.

johnnyt Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 While admittedly a work around, for past few years every time change (spring and fall) at 1:59AM my 994 uses a network resource to call a Webswitch script that powers off ISY, waits 2 mins, and powers it back up. Haven't had a problem since, though I'd rather not have to resort to doing this. Hopefully it does get fixed when I move to Polisy/eisy, or because time changes come to an end, at least in North America, an idea that seems to be getting a lot of attention. Daylight Savings Time Power Cycle If Time is 1:59:00AM And ( $iCal.Month is 11 And $iCal.Week.of.Month is 1 And $iCal.Day.of.Week is 7 Or ( $iCal.Month is 3 And $iCal.Week.of.Month is 2 And $iCal.Day.of.Week is 7 ) ) Then Run Program '1-Save All Counters - for reboot' (Then Path) Wait 10 seconds Resource 'Web Switch Run ISY Polisy and Autelis Power Cycle 2 minutes Script' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') 2
apostolakisl Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Turns out deleting the java applet and reinstalling fixed the clock. So I guess it was just the time displayed on the admin console and not the time running on the machine. 1 1

TRI0N You posting this gave me an idea... would be possible to use a Stream Deck as a super-charged KeypadLinc and run Automations off it. Sure enough... https://github.com/cgiesche/streamdeck-homeassistant. I think I will order one and run off a small PC or something... can hang it all off the wall, Wife would love 1

Lots of things you can do with these things. You can create custom graphics for the keys, use images, I hear they have a button maker too but I us PS for things. Though I don't use these for my automations I do create my own interfaces and use touchscreen system hooked up with Pi4's on the back of them inside my walls in the main rooms. I'll be posting more about it as I get all data exported and the eye candy work complete. About as far as I got playing with eye candy and begun focus on data export and pulling historical data into databases (temps/humidity/etc). TRI0N Edited March 13, 2023 by TRI0N 1
