Hi,
I have the new Homey Pro. The Time on the devices is two hours past the local time, even if the time zone is correct.
How can set the time?
Change the location of your Homey to a random location, then back to the correct one.
Thanks. But it didnât work. It changed the time. But the new time is somehow more strange. Instead of 2 hours past local time itâs now 1:35 past local time.
Is there no sync with a time server?
What do date
and dateHuman
show on this page? Homey Developer Tools
It shows:
date : 2023-11-02T18:01:45.727Z
dateHuman : Thursday 2nd November 2023 19:01:45
The real time here is 20:36
I was under the impression the trick is to move it to a random location in another timezone, and move it back after a while.
Isnât it necessary to use an other timezone?
Just wondering
How is your local network set up? Does your home router provide time services to the network? If so, and itâs possible to change that, try turning it off (if itâs on) or on (if itâs off). After changing, reboot Homey to have it pick up the new setting.
Not sure, really, I never had the issue myself
Thanks! That worked for me.
For me, unfortunately, it doesnât work yet:
date = â2023-11-06T20:02:19.***Zâ
dateHuman = âMonday 6th November 2023 21:02:19â
dateDst = false
My home modem (Zyxel-T54, Odido) has no problems regarding time and date, that data is retrieved online.
Yet that hour time difference causes some lights that should dim at 00:00 to do so as early as 23:00.
I have the Homey Pro 2023 with version 10.0.8. The location is designated with a mappointer on the map (no automatic location determination), I use the WebApp version 1.9.68 and the iPhone Homey app is version 7.5.0.1378
In both the WebApp and iPhone app, the time zone is set to Europe/Amsterdam with the correct time: 21:02:19.
I already changed my location to London, Poland, Italy and back to the center of the Netherlands, but unfortunately the problem remains.
Does anyone have a suggestion what is causing the time difference?
Thanks in advance for a response!
I donât see what the problem is, the dateHuman
is the same as what you say the correct time is (donât look at the date
field, that always shows UTC).
Ow really? I got the impression that the two times had to be equal to each other.
And so the fact that it says âdateDst = falseâ doesnât matter either?
The problem I experienced is that my lights were dimmed at 11pm yesterday instead of midnight.
Hopefully I will notice later that it has been fixed.
Thanks for your reply, @robertklep!
It does, Dst = Daylight Saving Time (in Dutch: zomertijd);
When itâs summertime, dateDst
says âTrueâ, and the dateHuman time for Amsterdam/Europe will be UTC time +2 hrs.
While the clock is back to ânormalâ at the moment (wintertijd), the dateDst
says âFalseâ and the dateHuman time for Amsterdam/Europe will be UTC time +1 hr.
Clear information, this immediately clarifies a lot for me.
Thanks for your reply @Peter_Kawa!
I have tried all kind of time zones⌠it just doesnât work. The basic time of my homey 2023 is not UTCâŚ
Tried to use fake time zone (Indonesia) to fix the time error but that also does not work⌠resulting in faulty flows⌠how can I fix this???
What âdoesnât workâ? When you made that screenshot, what was the actual UTC time?
The time difference between my local time CET and Homey is 7 hours. That is why I tried the +7hrs time zone to compensate, but even when that is visible in the app⌠it is not active in Homey.
This error really messes up my flows
Pls answer Robertâs question, Dave, is Homey showing the right UTC time?
Thatâs the important part to start from:
Can you show us the UTC time, and tell us the local time? Like, the time on your watch?
Define âHomeyâ. You mean the UTC (date) time, or the CET (dateHuman) time?
From the screenshot I see you are still in Jakarta. So you have to switch it back to your own time zone.
