STRAIGHT ANSWER · Smart home & devices

Why does my home automation routine repeat when daylight-saving time changes?

Our answer

Use timezone-aware schedules and disable duplicate clock-change automations; avoid fixed UTC offsets.

Why this approach makes sense

Device software, permissions and connected services change how a feature behaves; use settings for the actual model rather than a generic workaround.

Before you try it

Verify the relevant device and account permissions, and make changes one at a time.
