I use eWelink to control the WiFi circuit breaker to my EV charger, on/off, using the app. Over the last few months it has switching on/off one hour early which suggests to me it is not picking up local time from my mobile. So using GMT when my mobile is using BST ie +1hour summer time.

Could any one kindly advise where I might find a setting in the app to fix the time offset?

In the Ewelink App:

1. Go to your profile (bottom right icon), then
2. go to Settings (gear icon), and
3. you can see Time Zone settings there.

Thanks Ayun, all I could find in a very long unsorted list was Europe/London  
GMT, no mention of +1.00 for summer time or even local time taken. Will check the next time I use the timer.
