WebCore Timezone


#1

Is there a way to set the timezone for webcore to Mountain Standard time? Looking around, it appears that it may use GMT time. I tried converting the time, and my piston isn’t firing during the correct time. I would like to have it to trigger motion from 7pm, to 7am. What am I missing. Thanks!

Check your hub time zone using the ST app. I know it’s on the classic.

@eibyer is correct. Whatever timezone you set in the ST app is used by webCoRE. No conversion necessary.


Also, I suspect that turn on, off, on, off, on, off will not run successfully, since each command only takes a few milliseconds to transmit. Maybe try a small WAIT between each command?

(and turn Logging to FULL if you want to troubleshoot this more)


Side Note:
Many motion sensors outside will have false readings all day long, as the wind blows, plants move and clouds shift. For this piston to execute, the motion sensor has to be INACTIVE first, and then changes to ACTIVE

Thank you both for the great tips! I wasn’t able to find in the app where the timezone is located, but your comments led me to check the Time Zone info in the IDE. It seems to be working properly now. I will have to play with it a bit and see. Thanks again! Here is a screenshot of where it is in the IDE, in case it helps someone else.
