Question

disable daylight saving time in firmware after 7.2.0

Hi,

 

is there any way to disable the time zone automatic daylight saving time, or alternatively set a fixed timezone (e.g. UTC+1)?

My requirement is to have fixed local time all year round (without daylight saving), in detail I'd like to set UTC+1.

 

Thank you for any help.

Best regards,

Lars

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

well yes, this other post addresses the same problem. One answer from a staff in this was, that the feature was removed. 

Therefore my question: if the 'set dst disable' feature was removed, is there a possibility to set the timezone manually to not have daylight saving?
E.g. in POSIX style there is the workaround with Etc/GMT-1 to get always UTC+1 (without any local time daylight saving).

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

thanks for the fast reply.

The timezone UTC+1 in West Central Africa would be the only one without daylight saving for that specific case. This is a workaround, but a dirty one.

 

Thank you.

Regards.
