weekly exercise ran twice today: once each in two different time zones #1141

Do you have "Sync Time" enabled on the setting page? If enabled this will sync the generator time to the pi time once an hour. Do you have Generac Mobile Link connected at the same time as genmon? Is the time zone displayed some where? I am not aware of a time zone setting in the controller so I am guessing this is being set by mobile link? |

Yes, Sync Tmie is enabled. Yes, I have Mobile Link connected. I don't see
any way to set the time zone in the app.
I will disable Sync Time and learn to live in UCT. Thanks.

Separately, I was having a lot of timeout errors, and the Mobile Link app thought the generator was Off but it was on Auto. At the suggestion of pintsize.me, I cycled the power on the Evolution 2 controller by disconnecting the power connector and removing the fuse. When the controller came back up, it eventually set itself (correctly) to America/Chicago time zone...and Mobile Link reconnected properly. Including this detail in case someone else experiences time zone or Mobile Link connection issues. |

Cycling power probably had nothing to do with it. I just saw the following messages in the Mobile Link app: 07/02/2024 at 12:54 PM 07/03/2024 at 3:16 PM |

What is/are your question(s)?
My weekly exercise time is set to Thursdays at 18.30. My generator insists on setting its time zone to UCT, so it launched the weekly exercise today at 18.30 UCT, which is 13.30 in my local time zone, which is America/Chicago (DST). Then, at 18.30 in my local time zone, the exercise ran for the second time today.
I've confirmed that my Pi time zone is set to America/Chicago. I am not using the enhanced exercise add-on in genmon.
Genmon Maintenance page shows:
Generator Exercise Time: Weekly Thursday, 18:30
Genmon status page currently shows:
Time :
Monitor Time : Thursday June 27, 2024 19:43:11
Generator Time : Friday June 28, 2024 00:43
Easy fix?
(I would love for my Evolution 2 controller to have the correct time zone but thus far I have not located the secret pathway to make that happen.)
