Time on Orbit Valves

[gdkramer]

I set up my Orbit Iris hose valves for the season. Installed new batteries and they booted up with the time being 5 hours ahead. Went into diagnostic tool and saw the time in GMT, hence the 5 hour difference. Checked in hub details and it is showing CDT.
why is Hubitat installing the wrong time on my devices with time display ?

Here's the post about the wrong the wrong time. Not sure yet f they are going to do anything about it though. I have 5 still in storage and spring is around the corner

Orbit Hose Water Timer displaying time in UTC instead of local time

I noticed my timer wasn't displaying the correct time. Removed batteries. When I inserted batteries, it came back on with "1 pm" until it resynched with HE, then it displayed UTC time instead of my local timezone (PDT -7). Anyone else having this issue? I'm using the official driver. After doing this, I turned on debug logging and hit Configure then, after a while, Refresh. That didn't fix the clock. Logs below. [Screenshot 2021-03-16 154742]

Thank you. I did a post search for Orbit valves the other day and did not see this.
I am glad to see that I am not the only one experiencing the problem.
It looks like they are not going to address the issue since Mike Maxwell says that the Hubitat is sending the local hub time to the valves.

Strangely enough the valve time was working fine the last few years so it's not definitely not the issue with the valve but more likely the HE firmware.
