WM100 needs time re-sync after change to Standard Time
« on: November 04, 2018, 09:56:45 AM »

My Dawn Timer fired an hour early today due to the time change from daylight to standard time.  When I opened the WM100 app it gave a warning that there was a difference between the app time and hub time and asked if I want to re-sync the time.  I pressed yes and should be good to go.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I had the same when I first opened the app today...call me crazy, but it seems this should be pretty simple to write into the unit, seeing as my CM15a handled it like a champ....but then the WM100 needs to be synced after a power outage, so I guess I expect too much.

I'm less impressed very day by the developers skills  and this app . I never got a notification my apps time was out of sync so I clicked on sunc time and after I did the sync I got a out of sync message. Comparing time they were exactly 1 hour off. >*<

Does the WM100 possess an RTC.

I would have presumed the WM100 would poll the servers on a regular basis so the need to manually resync timers seems a little odd.

Yet another reason to abandon the WM100, unfortunately. It seems that the unit cannot be relied upon for much. It is a glorified remote - when the server is up and running.

It can maintain the time once set - as long as it has power. It does not have a battery-backed RTC, nor can it pull time from the Internet. It can *only* sync time to a device running the app, and only then it is a manually-triggered procedure.

I guess they should have added auto time resync to the firmware.  I've got nixie clocks that change time on DST.  Even my PC's do that when powered up.

Sounds like its easier to tell us what it can do rather than what it can't do. The list would would be far shorter.
