Dusk/dawn timer offsets?
« on: March 04, 2006, 05:55:25 PM »

There one thing is missing in AHP.  In the old AH, you can specify how many minutes before or after DUST/DAWN setting to turn on/off of a module, but not in the new AHP.  It would nice to see this feature implemented.

If you change the Timer Designer view from Simple to Advanced, you'll be able to enter a time before or after dusk or dawn. When the Timer Designer is open, look in the upper left of its pane and should see a text button for "View Advanced Layout."

Thanks

X10 Pro,

sorry, I realize that I was not talking about the timer, I was asking in the Macro condition, where there is dust and dawn time, but it does not allow me to specify how many minutes before/after for dust/dawn setting.

wondering...

With the Time change occurring now 2 weeks later, will this be changed in the software as it is calculated first and downloaded? seems like it switched already :)

does this call for a hardware redownload?

Next year, 2007, is when the DST changes to be 2 weeks sooner and end a week later. According to an X10 comment made in another forum, AHP gets its DST information from Windows. The 1st time you connect after Windows has been updated AHP will be updated with the current DST information.

This is only for the display of the time for AHP program.
I figured it out, X10 could have said this...

CM15A does not use DST, it goes by location, and changes every 2 days (depending on setting (up to 8)) so it never changes or advances 1 hour during the DST change...   it is calculated and stored in the interface and changes as the earth does. we humans don't change as the world goes round, we set a time (1 hour) twice a year to change or we would have to adjust our clocks every day to reflect the couple minute change that happens every day. CM15A does reflect actual daily changes.

sorry if I didn't explain it well :P
