Fwiw v clocks don't need to have WiFi to auto adjust for dst. Just being date-aware and having a method to configure dst is all it takes.
I used to think this too. Now I have a programmable porch light that adjusts the time on the wrong week, because it does change. Not too big a deal for a porch light, but would be if I had to rely on the time. This really needs to be something that gets updated
While I appreciate that time zones change including dst... Your porch light shouldn't care about dst, it should probably just care about actual light levels
Actual light levels don’t really work either because then you’re leaving the light on all night. We have light sensors, we have schedules …… when I get around to replacing it, I want one like I’ve seen for decorative lights. A combination. Turn on when it gets dark enough and stay on for x hours. That way you only set how long to stay on and the specific time or time zone is irrelevant
