New DST problems

Give me a backup option, and I’ll reset the hub!

I tried to add a new device. The non-dst defaults to off. However, I get the same "the APP failed to add the device" error.

So, it fails to save on both new and existing timers.

Again, I’m doing this on android, using app 2.0.10 and 0.0.26 firmware.

I get the same error message on my phone running android 5.1 but not on my tablet running android 6.0.1

I have been getting the error message on my phone for the last few days trying to figure out why the dusk/dawn +/- 90 was not working. I deleted then re-installed the app but still get the message. I did not want to do a factory reset of the wm100 and after reading the posts here will just make any changes with my tablet.

My lights turned on early - in fact, about an hour early. So, the WM100 thinks I’m in a non-DST area. I had to go in and add 60m to all my dusk timers. Lovely. Silly me for upgrading.

Update: before the WM100, I was using my "low-tech" PR511 flood to turn on my lights at "real" dusk. Quite reliable, unless it gets super dark in the middle of the day due to a storm. That rarely happens. So, I’ve deleted my WM dusk timers, and I’m back to the PR511...for now. Forever?

My v1.2 iOS app does not have this setting and uses standard time instead of DST or my phone time. Bizarre.

Did you upgrade the firmware? I think that’s where the problem is. Only the android app has been updated, but both my iOS and android apps report the new firmware. I can’t change DST setting on android app because there is a bug, and I can’t change it on iOS because the app hasn’t been updated!

Seems I'm not the only one? Updated hub firmware and android app (iOS n/a yet??).

Here in central NJ:

Lights went on at 6pm (0 offset). Sunset 6:58/ Dusk 7:25.
Lights went off at 5:26am (-15min). Dawn 6:16/Sunrise 6:43.

Firmware update did request time synch.

Thoughts on this? Thank you all!!!

I have an Android but I did see simular issues prior to deleting the app from the phone then reinstalling.
The app didn't auto update for me thought Google play store stated it had.

Even though I had the newest firmware the app wasn't. This prevented the new options from displaying which makes sence.

Ok, just noticed something that may have/probly is at the root. Android update had me at non-dst and -19 minute offset for each setting. Let me watch this over a few days! Thanks!

Same with me. However, I can’t deselect the DST option and save. I assume that your save worked. What version of android are you running? Tnx.

Samsung Tab A- running 7.1.1. X10 App is 2.0.10. Hub is at 26.. can't check, server down!

DST was working fine for two days without any offset. Last night it turned on the lights two hours earlier! I have not touched anything. Now two days in a row. Sunset is about 6:30. It worked for two nights. Then it turned on the same lights at 4:30 twice now. Anyone else having problems?

Mine is working fine. I have the setting off.

Things are now working on time once I reset the time on the WM100 with my iPhone. I'm not sure why the time was offset by two hours on the WM100. We may have had a power failure. Can't this thing store the time? It sure would be nice to se what time the WM100 has in one of the windows.

I was also surprised that the unit does not report its time.
