Since there are enough places in the US that do not use Daylight Savings Time anyhow, AHP copies the time, date, and Daylight Savings Time settings from your computer. ActiveHome Pro is designed to keep time when running by itself. If you have Windows Update turned on, that should keep your Daylight Savings Time information in sync with whatever changes are made. If your CM15A has been running by itself for a very long time, you may want to hook it back up to the PC and run Tools-Download Timers and Macros to make sure it has the correct dates for Daylight Savings Time.

How does ActiveHome Pro know when Daylight Saving Time is?

Answer

Since there are enough places in the US that do not use Daylight Saving Time, AHP copies the time, date, and Daylight Saving Time settings from your computer. ActiveHome Pro is designed to keep time when running by itself; this should work for version 3.236 and later but not for earlier versions. Go into Help-About to see what version of ActiveHome Pro you are running.

The latest version of ActiveHome Pro should handle Daylight Savings Time correctly whether or not the CM15A interface is attached to the PC- you can find the latest version of ActiveHome Pro here: http://www.authinx.com/software/SW31A/AHP_3.318.exe
