jkraus Posted Sunday at 05:44 PM Posted Sunday at 05:44 PM On my Polisy after DST initiated today, the sunrise/sunset times are off. I live in San Fransisco region and it has sunrise at 8:31am and sunset 8:10pm, those are an hour off, should be an hour earlier for both. And, there is no way to uncheck the dalight savings time box. Also wehn change to a diffent time zone it still is off Quote
Vwas Posted Sunday at 06:44 PM Posted Sunday at 06:44 PM Same problem with my eisy here in the Boston area (running version 5.8.4). Time of day appears to have adjusted correctly, it's only the sunrise and sunset times reported in the admin console that appear to be off. I have several lighting scenes that are scheduled relative to sunset time. Not sure if their run time will be similarly affected by this?, or if this is only a fluke in the admin console display. For reference, my Ambient Weather station is reporting sunset as 6:46 PM. The weather station has my exact longitude and latitude coordinates set, while the eisy has my location set to Boston. I'm actually about 30 miles west, I presume that's likely the reason for the slightly later sunset time reported by AWN. I'll check back in again around sunset to report whether my scene timings are similarly affected by this one hour shift... Quote
Vwas Posted Sunday at 07:07 PM Posted Sunday at 07:07 PM My "Night Detect" program is scheduled to run 15 minutes before sunset. Admin console shows sunset as 7:43, but next scheduled run for this program is shown as 6:28. That works out to 15 minutes ahead of 6:43, as expected. If this holds true (fingers crossed), it appears that eisy has its internal sense of sunrise and sunset times correct, it's only the admin console display that's out of whack... Quote
jkraus Posted Sunday at 07:12 PM Author Posted Sunday at 07:12 PM yea, I read old posts and now it seems that is a common issue, and it seems it will self correct over night, but the programs will run correctly, at least that what those posts were saying. Quote
Vwas Posted Sunday at 07:32 PM Posted Sunday at 07:32 PM Now that you mention it, it seems like I also ran into this behavior with my old 994i many years ago. Coincidentally, I was tweaking a few of my lighting programs earlier today to fine tune the on timing based on the solar radiation reading that eisy pulls from my weather station. I use the time of day to establish a turn on window around the time of sunset, then fine tune lighting turn on events based on measured daylight level. That's when I realized that the sunset time shown in the console was off by an hour... Quote
sw34 Posted Monday at 12:08 AM Posted Monday at 12:08 AM My system time is correct, showing 8:00pm in Boston as of my last look, which is correct, sunset showing as 7:43 but sunset today was actually at 6:43pm Quote
