Winter time --> Summer time - same problem every year

Please refer to the prerequisites

In short, update the App and the Firmware before DST/standard time transition.

What we (eWeLink and device manufacturers like SONOFF) are currently working on is releasing new firmware that will enable your devices to automatically adjust to the new time after the DST/standard time transition in your local area, without requiring any manual adjustments from you. We are actively working to make this feature available to ensure a smooth experience. Thank you for your understanding and patience!

Will this be implemented in the app so that also the times in scenes will be kept the same regardless the actual time?

As far as I understand, everything has already been developed and the devices have received updates. This is good news!!! But the main problem has not been solved. The problem is that, for example, 16:00 winter time and 16:00 summer time are not the same!!! If I close the storm at 16:00 in winter because it gets dark outside very early, then in summer it will not be 16:00, but ± 20:00. And since the length of the day changes gradually, everything has to be reconfigured many times during the change of year!!! This problem is very easy to solve with a simple device such as a lux meter - an outdoor light sensor!!!

Or you can use sunset + or - time in h or min or seconds and you don’t need to reconfigure during year.

such scenarios do not work without the Internet!!! zb light sensor will allow you to use scenes without the Internet!

Just a reminder.

I have found an easy solution for when the clocks change.
All you have to do is turn off and on OR on and off each scene after the clocks change. They then all work at the correct new time.

Hi

I have 4 eWeLink controlled devices all have the latest updates installed…
The Winter/Summer - Summer/Winter changeovers with the previous versions of the App have always been chaos for me…

This year’s latest Winter/Summer time switch over worked perfectly for me…
No glitches… All good

Thanks for the fix…
