Hi
I have a recurrence set to run at local time 9 am, and I set my time zone to my local time zone in the US, and it didn't run at 9am. I modified the time in the recurrence by one hour (like 8:03/10:03), and it did run at local time 9:03. It appears Recurrence doesn't understand daylight savings time. Even if I leave the Recurrence as-is, it will work at 9am now but i expect it will shift by an hour when Daylight Savings Time ends and be an hour off again.
I wound up having a convoluted sequence of running the Recurrence twice a day, 1 hour apart, then adding some actions to getnow() in UTC, use Convert Time action to convert now my local timezone, figure out if that result is between 8:57 and 9:03 (in case there is a slight error in running time), and only then actually run the rest of the actions. Apparently the Convert action actually does know about daylight savings time but the Recurrence doesnt. Is there no better/simpler way?
I heard a rumor that the format of the 'start date' in the Recurrence makes a difference - true? false?
Thanks
