Apex and Time Change

Anyone have an issue with the time change?

My clock settings page has auto update enabled, DST enabled, time zone -4, and the tank time was 1 hour off. I have to force it to time zone -5...
 
YES, YES, I had a big problem. I woke up this morning and noticed the web pages looked sluggish. I checked the XML outlet log and it had the same "Closed Loop off at 7:00" hundreds and hundreds of times, it just kept adding items. It seemed like it was stuck in a loop. It has run for 6 months without a problem until the night of DST, I dont think it is coincidence. Well I tried the natural thing of restarting it thru the display unit. After that it was doing the same thing. Next logical idea, unplug everythiing (both EB8s and Base unit). After it rebooted up it was going crazy, turning pumps & lights on and off at will. Webpages were dead, couldnt reach from any computer (either internet or intranet). I tried unplugging for 15 mins again, same thing. Looking thru the display module it looks like it reset some of the data to defaults (all programs were gone, but some net settings were still there). I ran an init all, had to reflash firmware, reflash web pages, and restore my program, outlets, and settings (thank god I had a recent backup). SO yes, there is big big problems with DST. For now on, auto clock is off DST is off!
 
I have the 4.03 firmware on mine which it came with and had dst/auto both enabled and when I woke up my system time had adjusted itself and everything was great...
 
Hmm, Just checked mine and it switched over by itself, I never even thought about it.
Yeah for something working right for a change, I'm impressed LOL

Must have just been really bad timing between the device updating the clock and executing the programming at the exact same time causing some type of corruption. Pretty scary, just glad I was home.
 
BTW, I was running 4.03-6A10, decided to put the smae firmware back on it, until the new one is determined to have no issues, lloked through the rev log for the 4.04 and didnt see anything that would have corrected this issue.
 
If I turn off DST or turn it on the only way I can get the correct time is to make the time zone -5 even though I am in -4...

Just check it out online and my Apex is reporting the correct time, I am running 4.03-6A10
 
Running 4.04AG10. Mine is reporting the correct time, but there is an issue with graphing. It is properly graphing the probes, but not the outlets. It won't plot outlet data for today (11/8) and I did confirm via the XML Outlet report that there is data.

Exactly the same. Run 04AG10 , reporting the correct time, graphing reports only the probes, but not the outlets.
