After updating the firmware this week I noticed a shift in the device’s startup according to Schedule (at the wrong time and it keeps shifting). Startup - power on is always at 7:05 and shutdown at 12:00. Last week everything was OK, this week it’s chaos. Does anyone else notice this? I’ve attached the startup times in a screenshot. I’m wondering if it’s caused by some bug in the firmware for DST, or other interventions related to it.

Of course, I already set this up a long time ago, but it started happening anyway.

The specific time the device was triggered as the log shows, right? If so, please provide the device ID (Go to the device page - top right settings button - find **Device ID** and copy)
