Rules are messed up again due to daylight saving time. Everything is coming on an hour early on the clock. (Rule set for 4pm but history shows 3pm etc) How do I fix this?

That’s funny. Maybe that’s what it will take - an act of Congress to solve my programming issue.

Write to your house of representatives to vote for the "Sunshine Protection Act. I believe it passed in the Senate but the House was busy spending money elsewhere. Hawaii and Arizona avoid using DST. Two nice places to live. :grin:

So assuming this never gets fixed by Wyze, which seems to be the theme here, what is everyone doing? Editing the rules to be an hour different now than it actually is?

I do not have anything time critical, so this might not help. My main concern is lighting. I set lights to come on and off before sunrise and sunset on Standard time. In my locality, the difference between standard and DST is maybe 30-45 minutes. I turn off my V2 cams in the same manner. Works for me, but your mileage may vary.

Welcome to the monkey house, Matt. :monkey: I’ve settled for knowing what needs to be manually adjusted and what doesn’t. For my limited setup (v2 cams, bulbs, plugs.) And how to ensure the change takes effect (eg bulbs & plugs on Vacation Mode.) And bookmarking this thread in the forum software.

Daylight Savings Time Rules [image] I bookmarked it because I made it clear to myself once so I wouldn’t have to remember - and I don’t, without checking this post. slight_smile /edit BTW, @QiS in the topic was a Wyze staff member (not noted on their profile at present) so it’s an informed discussion… It’s a little annoying but it’s not at the top of my list. :wink:

I thought everhthing went smoothly with my cameras this time, switching to daylight savings time, but it appears I was wrong. I just checked my rules history (today is 3/19) and all of my rules that are scheduled to run during the 2:00 am hour, show as having run during the 3:00 am hour instead. No idea why. They ran properly all last week, though, so go figure… :roll_eyes: Any ideas…? [Screenshot_20230319-202545]

Sorry to bring up an old thread but this issue is still relevant. I have a mix of wyze switches, plugs (both indoor and outdoor) and cameras. Every time change I have something not work properly. This time it was my switches which control outdoor lights and an outdoor plug. The two switches failed to come on at sunset and were randomly coming on at different times for about a week, when I finally went in and just simply re saved the schedules. That seems to have fixed those. As for my outdoor plug, which runs a swimming pool cleaner on a set time. It moved the start and end times of that schedule an hour ahead. It is supposed to run at 9:30 am but is now starting at 10:30! It always does this and I have to go back in and change it back. It’s not a critical issue for me, but is pretty annoying! Like others, I don’t understand why this is so difficult to solve. I am a programmer and sometimes have to code to handle this myself so I know it can be done.

Don’t get me started. I feel like I comment every daylight savings time. I don’t want the times changed on my plugs. I have my lights coming on to coordinate with my schedule. I don’t want plugs turning on lights at 7 when they should come on at 6 or off at midnight when I scheduled them for 11. I really don’t understand this. I have to go into my 5 devices and reschedule all of my plugs every daylight savings time. Why is it that the clock doesn’t change but all of my devices do. I’m so tired of complaining about this that I’ve given up but when I saw this post I had to jump in again. This is so frustrating and really doesn’t seem that hard. My MyQ doesn’t need to be adjusted or my Ring doesn’t either. Come on, Wyze. Let’s get this right!
