Time Zone Issue

post by RayInThwGreatNW on Jun 23, 2022

I have two Rachio controllers. One is a 16 zone and the other is 8. The 8 zone controller is operating as if the current location is EST. For example, I have a schedule that should kick off at 8 PM PDT. It kicks of at 5:00 PM PDT (8:00 PM EST). All other schedules also kick off at their respective EST times. Both Rachios are registered to the same Washington state address and zip code.

Any idea on how I can fix this?

Be sure Controller Settings / Location is set, including full address and postal code, for both controllers.

You can also use “Tap to Refine” that to your actual map location, if necessary. Controller might have been setup when address didn’t exist in online mapping data.
