RE: Fw: UK Day light Saving - HomeVision

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

 

All we need is a command to activate/deactivate DST ... leave everything else as it is for ease of coding from Craigs end but just add commands to the HomeVision command language so that we can force DST on or off. Then anyone outside the US will simply have to write their own DST code like Mark's done and CSI don't need to worry as all their US customers can carry on as usual.

 

Has this been suggested to Craig at all?

Mark,

 

We hope to improve this in the future.  But in the meantime, it is possible for it to calculate sunrise and sunset properly.  If you enable the automatic DST change, HV will know it's now supposed to be in DST and calculate sunrise and sunset properly (that's because both the UK and US are now in DST).  This will get you through the summer months OK.  When you first do this, HV might set your ahead an hour, so check it and set it back if necessary.  This should only happen the first time you load the schedule with DST enabled.

Thanks,
