I’ve set my plugs to turn on at sunset (or added rule to turn on 30 min after sunset in one case), then turn off at a specific time (say 10 pm). That works while I and my phone are home. What happens if I go to Europe and my phone is set to a different time zone - e.g., six hours earlier? Will the schedule follow my home time or will it reset to the time of my phone location? Obviously, I want the schedule or rule to follow my home time. I assume it should follow my home time, but I would like reassurance. ---

The schedule is saved and run on wyzes servers, so timezones shouldn’t be a problem. ---

I would certainly test first as others have had problems with this scenario. ---

I ran a simple test. I turned off wifi on my phone and set my phone time to London time. My plugs turned on at sunset as scheduled. So far, so good. I then looked at the spotlights connected to my cam V3’s. One is set to go on at sunset. It was not on. The other is set to go on with motion, it did not go on when I stepped outside. I then turned on wifi on my phone and reset the phone time to local time. This was not an immediate fix. I first had to go to the settings for each cam and click on the spotlight setting. Then they turned on. These spotlights have some buggy issues (reported in another post). ---

Please don’t crosspost. I hopefully answered your question here, please answer there: > [@Spotlight doesn't follow sunset schedule if phone in a different time zone?](https://forums.wyze.com/t/spotlight-doesnt-follow-sunset-schedule-if-phone-in-a-different-time-zone/241562/2): > > If you are using a Rule to do this, then the rule will ask for the device’s location when you select either Sunrise or Sunset. That location stays fixed wherever your phone is. If you use the Plug’s Schedules menu item (Plug 2021 and above), then your phone should be set to the Plug’s time zone when you create it. After that I believe it will use that time zone’s sunrise and sunset as long as you don’t edit the schedule when elsewhere. I believe this is also dependent on your phone’s time …
