Title: Date discrepancy when trying to create timer in Timer Designer
Post by: jrwhit on November 16, 2008, 10:20:41 PM

I have noticed that when testing the timer feature in Timer Designer, when using the calendar feature to set the timer, the dates do not coincide with today's calendar. For example, it is currently Sunday November 16th and when clicking on the calendar feature the calendar shows November 16th as Monday. I am running Active Home version 3.228. Both the OS (Windows) and the status bar in Active Home show the correct time and date. The calendar is just wrong. Anybody seen this or know what I'm missing?

I don't think the calendar is setup like a normal one. I just think it list out the dates in order.  If you went like a normal calendar and Sunday being first in each row then mine is just like yours. But again I don't think if you program by the date it cares if it is a Monday or not. It will just turn on on that date.

If you are having trouble with timers in ActiveHome Pro, here are a couple of suggestions.  First go to the timer designer, select a timer, click on View Advanced Layout if it is shown, and then click on the option 'Repeat'.  Set a timer for a short time in the future, and see if that fixes the issue.

If that does not fix the problem, it may be that the file storing the information on your timers has become corrupted.  Click on the file menu and select new.  Create a couple of modules and timers for them for about 5 minutes in the future.  Again, it may be helpful to check the box for 'Repeat'.  Do your timers work now?
