Under System Configuration, there is a time zone picture with sunrise / sunset and then a map.

If I change the location under the map to be my precise location, the time zone changes to an incorrect time zone of GMT -6.

If I subsequently change it manually back to -5 under either screen, it does not stick and reverts back to -6.

The only way to get it back to -5 is to use the Locate Me button on the bottom of the map frame and to choose a nearby city in the dialogue box. then the -5 reverts and sticks.

Fixed, likely in release after next. ID: /eisy-ui/pull/111

Until that time use the nearest city with the correct timezone

My apologies Javi, but what does this mean?

"ID: /eisy-ui/pull/111"

And how do I find this? thanks.

This is the pull request ID for the fix, if referenced UD would know where to find. Posted to avoid duplication, in case the issue is referenced again.


It will likely be in the next release.

I do not understand your response.
When I locate myself on the new map for sunrise/sunset/timezone settings, the offset is set to -5 which is eastern time. When I change it, it does not update and reverts to -5. My actual offset is -6.

Having the correct time is pretty critical to a system that operates based on time of day parameters.

If you have some way to force this to a different setting, I am all ears but there is not an option that allows me to "select another city"

The actual location does nothing at this time besides set timezone so using Chicago will work for Central Time

As far as I can tell, there is no longer a method to choose Chicago. Do i have to drop my pin there?That seems to work, but is there another method?

My real timezone is the same as Chicago but I guess I can just drag the pin around until it looks good.

Clicking the "Locate Me" button when not using https, e.g eisy.local or ipAddress, will show a list of locations with timezones (this is what Admin Console does). eisy-ui use geolocation for https. The next version will replace the offset with the timezone selection.

Thanks, I see that now. Dragging the pin works too!
