Schedule showing time for "Sunrise" when you select "Sunset"

Anybody else had an issue with time scheduling after the latest iPhone app update?

For my lights schedule I select "Sunset" for the start time so I don't have to manually set the time all year long. It seems after the latest iPhone app update that the "Sunset" selection uses the "Sunrise" time.

The new app also seems to have issues connecting too.

IntelliCenter 2.017
iPhone app 4.2.1
Web Client Ver 2.00.38

Use the IntelliCenter2.com web app on a browser and check what your light settings and schedule are.

Light times and schedules are managed by the IntelliCenter OCP and not the app. App changes should make no difference in panel schedules that have been st on the OCP.
 
The behavior is the same on both the phone app and the web app.

I just set one of my lights schedules to "Sunset" and then "Sunrise" and when you go to the Home page the schedule start time is 6:12pm for "Sunset" and then 6:12am for "Sunrise", the correct Sunset and Sunrise times for my location are 6:33pm and 6:12am.

I'm going to check the light schedule I set to "Sunset" tonight to see if it actually starts at 6:12pm or if it's just a display anomaly.

I sent an email to Pentair on Friday and hopefully they can have some insight.

Thanks

That is a different problem then your initial post described.

Looks like the IntelliCenter is setting a 12 hour period from Sunrise to set Sunset time.

Is it a big deal that your lights come on 20 minutes early?

Are you sure it worked differently and you are not just noticing it now?

It looks like an IntelliCenter bug but the OCP firmware has not been updated in a while.
 
I set one of my light schedules to "Sunset" and it turned on at the correct sunset time and not the time showing on the schedule page so the IntelliCenter and software version 2.017 are working correctly.

This definitely is looking like a display issue with the new iPhone app/web app software versions. These apps are grabbing the Sunrise time and displaying it on the schedule page and not the Sunset time even though the IntelliCenter is using the correct sunset time,
 
Glad you figured out it is an app display issue.
