Elk Date Advanced

[shenandoah75]

I searched this forum for this and didn't see anything recent...

My sprinklers came on yesterday morning which was a day early (they're programmed for W) which i found odd. When i checked the keypad, sure enough the date said Nov 10th instead of Nov 9th. I have not been in program mode for a while and the sprinler came on correctly last Saturday. So my hunch is it had something to do with daylight savings. Any one notice this?

(firmware is 5.1.24)

I have found the clock in the ELK to be slightly off over time. When i connect to it using ELK RP it fixed itself...but over the course of a few months it will get itself a few minutes behind it seems.

Anybody else notice this?

Yes the hardware clock isn't accurate at all, you need to definitely setup NTP.


This is actually the first year I DIDN'T have DST issues with the Elk . Make sure you have the latest updates and the check the custom DST settings in the M1XEP setup.

I just noticed that my clock was exactly a day ahead as well. I have NTP setup with the M1XEP and it syncs fine. I also wonder if this happened with the DST change. Firmware is 5.1.24 as well.

FWIW -- no issues, time and date are ok, version 5.2.2.

Checked the release notes:

Version 4.6.2 and 5.2.2

"3. Resolved a problem with Daylight Savings Time being incorrect if using an M1XEP and the Natiional Time Server (NTS)."


Update your bootware and firmware!

What is your firmware out of curiosity?

Mystery solved!

I don't have the XEP so i guess no NTP for me.

You might be able to sync the time periodically with CQC using the pass through field...
