Time in body of email alerts is incorrect??

[wbonnell]

I have some email alerts set up using the ethernet connection on a Elk M1. The emails usually arrive within minutes of the rule being activated but the time in the body of the email is off by maybe 40 -60 minutes (early)- it is not always the same. The keypads read the correct current time. Anybody have any ideas????

Thanks

Do you have the correct time zone set on both the Elk M1 and your PC?

How do you set the time zone in the Elk - in the sunrise - sunset it is set correctly.

any chance you are routing your email through multiple servers (or a group of servers) that do not have their server time set correctly? ie, one is 40 minutes early and one is 55 minutes early? I see emails with weird/bogus timestamps, but they are usually spam.

Doesnt the Elk actually put the time in the body of the email??

Wbonnell, how did you get the time into the body of the email? From the first line of your first post, I assume you are using an M1-XEP. I seem to have slept through the part about how to insert variables.
