Dan,
Once again, thanks very much for the work you have put in on this python/pi port of the interval program. Ray, yourself and Samer have provided a great platform to play with!
It might be good for us to look again at @aradke’s post at viewtopic.php?f=28&t=160&start=40#p1500 about timezones. I have removed timezone calculations myself to fix problems I was having, which I believe was a bug that has been fixed. However, my preference is still to allow the OS to keep the time, and the application to simply query the OS for it.
The only thing that I wonder is whether using the OS local time (daylight savings adjusted time) would cause any impacts when daylight saving time gets adjusted? Like a program failing to stop, potentially leaving a solenoid on?
Cheers
Vaughano
