Title: Need Arizona Timezone Profile (MST with no DST)
Post by: grtessman on November 25, 2014, 06:51:37 PM
I was wondering if you could please add an Arizona Timezone Profile for your
devices?   Arizona is the only state in MST which never recognizes DST and
therefore usually has its own timezone profile.  I see you don't have such a
profile - can you please add Arizona MST with no MDT?  (MST = UTC-7:00
only) with no config for MDT.

I would like to see that also, but it's just as easy to not check Daylight Saving Time.

Thanks - that's what I am doing for now which I guess will work so long as there's never any automatic daylight savings adjustments for MST.  IFF there is, I'd have to check/uncheck all the time.

I don't understand -- Since AZ doesn't observe DST, unchecking the DST box on the portal page is the way to deal with it; no special XML file needed.  The XML file would just do the same thing as removing the check mark on the  portal, by setting that same parameter on the OBi.  If AZ ever did enact DST, you'd merely adjust that setting one time, again.

Fair enough.  So it sounds like I am good then.  Thank you all.

Don't forget Hawaii. A big timezone with little reason to spend all that wasted time moving clocks ahead or back.

It gives a whole new meaning to "island time" to be late.
