I have seen an issue when weewx calls set_time within the hour after falling back to standard time (because there is no way in the command to state the time is in DST and the console assumes standard time). I got around this issue by forking the driver and adding code such that set_time does nothing when set_time is called during these transitions. As such, I don’t see any issues during the clock changes.
The issue being reported here sounds different. Are you guys saying you *always* have this problem going in and out of DST? Do you have the correct DST setting in the console? Even when I encountered the issue above, I didn’t have to clear memory in my logger. Tom, do you see this issue? Do you have to clear memory in your logger every six months? > On Mar 28, 2021, at 5:48 AM, Tom Keffer <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Unfortunately, WeeWX is constructed such that all reports use the system > clock's time.
