Time change issue

None of my alarm clocks triggered this morning at 6:00am despite the interface indicating they should have. I checked and the hub variables and hub time all look good, but I know we've had issues with a mismatch due to DST in the past.

i am experiencing the same issue with RM:

This rule worked until DST hit - apparently the same variable times are interpreted differently by the trigger code & action code :frowning:

This is what we get for living in states that follow DST. Glad to see it's not just me. Thoughts on this one @bravenel?

I believe this is a UI display issue only. I will look into it.

Show the Scheduled Jobs section of the App Status page (gear icon).

And what is the current value of variable DayStartTime from its device page?

  • dateTime : 9999-99-99T06:00:00.000-0600

What does the time in Hub Variables look like for the variable?

this is not just UI.

I've confirmed with logging that the IF in my action above fails to run since the rule runs at 7:01am but the IF fails, trying to compare against 8:01am.

This rule worked before DST began on Sunday.

Please show the details, the rule, it's Scheduled Jobs, the variables involved and the logs.

Open the rule and hit Update Rule. Then show a screenshot of the rule, and another of its Scheduled Jobs.

Looks basically unchanged.


That's very odd. Please try one more thing: Change the time for the variable (to anything else), and then change it back to what time you want. Then show the Scheduled Jobs again.

I think one issue could be your use of the connector in the trigger, instead of using the variable itself as the trigger.

Looks like a match as soon as I changed the time. I'll change the trigger to the variable if that's the best practice. I only half understood what was going on when I wrote those rules.

Before you do that, could you show me the Event Subscriptions from App Status page for your rule with the Connector trigger. How did you create that trigger? Perhaps you could show me the trigger definition also?

What version of Rule is this?

5.0

A few of mine were messed up too. I had a time range for a button to do specific things from 11:30PM to 12:00AM but when you looked at the rule it said from 11:30PM to 11:00AM. Under "Manage Conditions" it said 11:30PM to 11:00AM but if I edited that condition it said 11:30PM to 12:00AM but it would not save that way I just changed it to 11:30PM to 11:59PM and that worked. Happened on a couple of other RM 5.1 rules as well that I am aware of right now there could be more undiscovered.

If you want to take a look at it its " [Button Bedroom Pushed 1]
