**5) Attach any logs
║Actual sunrise and sunset times are unavailable; please reset the location for your hub


#2

did you set the location for your ST hub?

Login to IDE at https://account.smartthings.com and click on My Locations, then click on Home under Name. Is your time zone showing correctly?


#3

No it doesn’t look like it’s correct. I’ve gone into my smart things app and resaved my location but that didn’t fix it. How do you change the hubs time zone? It says sunset at 1:58pm even… my lat/longitude is correct though.


#4

click on the map in the ST app, on iOS I know you can use two fingers to minimize the map and choose a location faraway (different time zone) and save it. Then go back and select your correct location and save. Then go back to IDE and see if your time zone is correct.

Edit: Wait 1 minute and then change the location back to your real location.

You may want to pause your pistons then click resume to sync the times
