#Automation Time Discrepancy

Not sure if I did something wrong, but trying to set a time in an automation's Time setting, results in the very wrong time being shown to trigger.

If I set 12pm, the time says it will trigger at 5 am. If I set the time to 5pm, it will say it will trigger at 10am

is it perhaps showing UTC for some reason?

US AZ timezone

#

also when do the automations trigger? at the entered time or at the displayed time?

tired flint
#

My HA dashboard tells me the correct time

#

I don't know, I'm actually just trying to set these up when i noticed it wasn't showing things correctly

looks like your timezone is -7 so i suspect that is why there is a 7 hour difference. why its doing this i am not sure. perhaps something has gone wrong with time settings somewhere. that happens sometimes around daylight savings so it might be a simalar issue. you could try doing a full host reboot (not just home assistant)

#

also check that your timezone is set in BOTH your system settings in general and under the User Settings

#

you can set the user to "use the server timezone" too. if there is a disparity between these settings you might see something like your seeing.

System settings are set to -7 for AZ time, which is correct. User settings is "Use the server timezone". The only other option for the user is...definitely not the correct time zone

#

Interesting, when I say the time in the automation via my phone in the HA app, it shows correctly

hazy thistle
#

is your pc's timezone set correctly?

tired flint
#

Yep, both the system the HA vm is running on, and system I was trying to configure the automation

#

can you try a different browser?

#

for science!

#

it seems like its just a visual thing but why its happening is odd

tired flint
#

Will have to try that option a bit later, need to step out for a bit. I'm currently running librewolf, an offshoot of firefox

hazy thistle
#

i am on +0 so its hard for me to test much with my setup

tired flint
#

Thank you for your help so far! Will come in later when I can test this a little further
