I am really confused by your description. You said “It ran as expected, at the expected time” — that sounds like after you changed the time and disabled weather adjustment, the issue is fixed, is that correct? Or did you change the time before you discovered the issue?
1. I am not sure how a program is supposed to log a record if it didn’t run — in your case, if the time was incorrect, it would not be running the program at your set time. This is not because the program was skipped for any reason. It’s simply because the device time was different from your wall clock time. How is the program supposed to log a record in this situation?
2. The firmware checks if the current minute matches the program’s start time, so it has a full 60 seconds to detect if a program should run at this minute or not. Even if the WiFi signal is weak, it won’t take more than 5 seconds (the http request has a 5-second timeout) to get back a result, either success or failure. Also, weather update is disabled if a program starts running, so as soon as the program starts running, weather update will wait till the program finishes running.
“UserManual says it logs “zone runs as well as rain delay, sensor status changes, and watering percentage changes.” .. which makes this all the stranger (to me)” — can you articulate which part of it is strange to you? ‘Zone runs’ are logged when a zone finishes running. If a program didn’t run, that means zones didn’t run, so it won’t log any record, right?
