Understanding the Issue
- The discrepancy of an hour in the schedule of Belkin Wemo devices is often linked to Daylight Saving Time (DST) settings. DST can cause the scheduled tasks to be off by one hour if the device does not automatically adjust the time.
- This issue might also arise from incorrect time zone settings on your device, which can result in schedules being out of sync with the actual local time.
Fixing the Problem
- Ensure your Wemo app and firmware are up-to-date. Having the latest versions can prevent time-related bugs from occurring.
- Check and correct the time zone settings:
- Open the Wemo App.
- Tap on the device in question to access its settings.
- Navigate to the time zone settings and ensure it matches your local time zone. Adjust if necessary.
- If the DST is causing the issue:
- Confirm whether the Wemo device automatically adjusts for DST. Not all devices do this, so check if there's a setting to enable automatic DST adjustment.
- Manually adjust the schedule times during DST periods if the device does not adjust automatically.
- Recreate the schedule:
- Delete the existing schedule that is experiencing the issue.
- Create a new schedule from scratch to ensure all settings are correctly applied.
- Restart your Wemo device and router. Sometimes, a simple reboot can resolve synchronization issues.
Ensuring Future Accuracy
- Regularly verify the Wemo app and devices for software updates. These updates can address known bugs and enhance functionality, preventing similar issues.
- Monitor the device's time settings closely when the season changes, especially during the start and end of DST.
