Intellicenter Time Not Working Right

[setsailsoon]

Folks,

I have recently installed an IPS8 system and it's working fine except it doesn't seem to adjust for DST time right. I've got it set to get the time from the internet and it's indicating an hour later than actual time. Please see the screen captures below. Time as of the last screen capture was 11:36 am. Anybody else having this issue?

Thanks.

Chris

Most of Arizona does not follow DST so our resident IntelliCenter expert @MyAZPool has probably never seen this.

There should be a setting in the menu that says "automatically adjust for DST." Is that option checked?

Yes, if you look closely at the first screen clip about in the middle on the left side. I checked the "auto adjust" box,

What Firmware version are you running?

Chris,

Since you are getting your time off the local internet why do you need to adjust for DST?? It should automatically be correct..

I'd uncheck the box and see what happens.

Thanks,

Internet time synchs give you GMT and the device needs to adjust for local time zone. That is why his screen shot has him specifying his time zone.

Jim,
That's what I thought. So I left it unchecked. But it didn't change with dst so I checked auto... to my surprise it idn't make any difference. So I've with the time settings and find that the "auto adjust dst" box does nothing regardless if I set time manually or automatically in the advanced settings. I ended up setting time manually and it's correct now. But dst function doesn't seem to do anything. I pressed save after each change and it makes no difference.

Thanks for the reply.

r,

Here's the about section:
Panel Configuration: SHARED BODY
Web Client Version: 1.042 b1 October 19, 2019
Web Server Version: 1.0.0.22
THW Version: IC: 1.023 , ICWEB:12-13-2018 0.88.37

Installation was a breeze and I consider this issue a minor inconvenience. I would like to determine if it's operator error and if not, report it so they can fix it. Is there an new version that you know of?

Thanks for the reply.

Was it checked prior to the time change?

 

[jimbethesda]

Reboot! That’s my standard first thing to try with everything technology. Not sure it will work for you, but worth a try.

 

[jimbethesda]

My other suggestion is to change to another time zone. See if it changes, then change it back to the correct one.

Can't hurt, I'll try tomorrow. Thanks!

No, I just noticed this after the time change. There is still no time difference if dst is checked when auto time or manual time. Doesn't make sense.

Pentair programming is ludicrous. That check box probably just adjusts the displayed time is by an hour when DST occurs. Since the box wasn't checked at the time, the clock wasn't adjusted.

Leave the box checked and when spring comes I bet it adjusts. I saw the same thing happen with my IntelliTouch and it seems that Pentair just wrapped the old programming in a new package with a wifi connection.

That would make sense. Shouldn't be hard to fix but it sounds like it's been this way for a long time.

Thanks!
