I am trying to set the start time and end time as in pic1. But the time shows up as a different time as in pic2.
Why is the time not changing to what I set it to? thanks
Doing a restore of a backup does not change anything. I even went back 2 days. Would going into Daylight Savings Time last night have anything to do with it? The problem is time related.
EDIT: I have all of the bulbs set with an IP Address that is above 100. Is there an upper limit to the IP Address that we cannot exceed?
Interesting! Could be DST related. We will look into it.
Thanks, I thought at first it was not possible but the more I thought about it I changed my mind and decided to include that info. Thanks again for looking into it.
If you think about it, this is actually correct!
Consider that this morning at 12:01 AM, it was before the change to DST. After the change, 12:01 AM would be 11:01 PM. This is unique to the day that DST changes. This is simply an artifact of the peculiarity of the meaning of 12:01 AM TODAY. Tomorrow, it will mean something different than it meant today.
So, on the day that DST changes, times between 12:00 AM and 2:00 AM fall in the prior time zone, so setting up between-two-times on those days for those times are going to have seemingly odd results. However, those results are correct for that day. The software is always using today as the point of reference for setting times.
The transition between 11:59 PM to 12:01 AM has been a problem for all HA systems. Is it 12:00 PM today or is it 12:00 AM tomorrow.
But I see what you are saying. Most instances we would not be setting up something that occurs within that time frame anyway.
It should not be twelve anything, the clock should go from 23:59:59 to 00:00:00. This twelve hour clock and AM/PM stuff always gets us fouled up.

Yes, that is what I thought too. But it seems HE has the same situation as HS and others when it comes to midnight.
