Right now it's taking system timezone as timezone. I hope if we give it as configurable option may leads confusion.
it seems to default to
Version: 0.0.2-alpha5, Timezone: UTC(+0000)
i have the TZ set correctly on my rpi2
(i'm EDT timezone)
thanks
You have to set timezone with the help of raspi-config https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-2-first-time-configuration/changing-timezone
I believe your rpi still with UTC. If you run date command from your raspberry PI what is the output?
i must have had a browser cache issue or something, the next day i came back and it said EDT. so it appears my system clock was indeed set to UTC.
One comment on something you said above.
" I hope if we give it as configurable option may leads confusion."
I think that given the audience here, there isn't much that would confuse people.
If you were dealing with people who didn't know anything about electronics, or computers, maybe, but to be honest i can't see how it would confuse anyone, much less anyone here..
just my thoughts..
@mvader Thank you! What I mentioned here is, Say if you are running your system with UTC time (People always set system time as where they are living) and you change MyController time to EDT.
Now confusion stars this way.
Sunrise/Sunset time (you set latitude and longitude for your location(UTC), time will be displayed in EDT)
Message received from sensor will show in EDT, As you are in UTC there is chance to thing like it is old log, etc.,
While scheduling 'Timer' will get confuse (Will be scheduled in EDT timezone).
I believe it is good to go with system time.
Top most we have to rewrite the code in many places
now to circle around to the firmware issue.
the nodes that use dual-optiboot, are mostly the sensebender micro boards.
these are typically battery powered devices that sleep most of the time.
with the library 1.5, you have an OTA enabled setting and when the device boots, it listens for a defined amount of time for an OTA upgrade signal.
I've tested this with MYScontroller and it works.
when i reboot the device, the firmware upgrade takes off.
I rebooted the device manually and nothing was sent, so it seems like something may still not be working correctly.
with your implementation.
Thank you for your effort and time on this. Let me check how dual-optiboot works and will check the implementation MyController also.
