    End of daylight savings (clocks move back 1 hour)

    I've set up my insteon hub to turn on and off various lights just the way I like it. One of the things I appreciate is the ability to have outdoor lights and interior lights turn on at sunset. Now that the time has been moved back one hour and despite the hub time being correct, everything is essentially turning on an hour later than I would like. How have you compensated for this change? I would think if the time is corrected, then the hub would know to move at least (sunrise/sunset) to turn on an hour earlier. Thanks!

    All these years later and the Insteon team still hasn't figured this one out. I notice this with mine each time change too. Seems to be off by a week. Wait until this coming Sunday and see if it starts working correctly then. Mine usually does the same.

      Yep, I noticed this issue in 2015. It's bad enough that the Hub and the app are garbage, but this is just ridiculous. Might go with an iSY994 in the near future. In an ideal world, I'd completely move away from Insteon, unfortunately that would require replacing about 14 - 16 piece of hardware ($$$).

        If something is distressing, then you should get rid of it. I don't consider having to set a clock an obstacle enough to trash my Insteon network.
        the benefits greatly outweigh the minor annoyances. That doesn't mean I'm not in full agreement that the Hub clock issue should be fixed

          Well, the time issue is just the icing on the cake. It's such an easy issue to fix that you'd think it would have been properly addressed for all users by now. The Hub has proven reliable along with all the hardware I have - except for 2 non-dual band switches that bit the dust a while back. There comes a point where all the minor annoyances stack up and you just get angry.

            It wasn't a big deal to modify my schedules (all 2 of them). I didn't know if perhaps I was the only one having this issue or maybe even user error. I guess I will find out if the schedules go out of whack this weekend (one week in) should insteon be delayed in applying changes.

              FWIW, as expected, my sunset scheduled scenes resumed working correctly this week

                  I even have some atomic clocks that sometimes need a day or two to "catch up" to the "correct" time.
