PSA: Ford app run schedules wrong after DST

[Ryom]

Just a heads up, I noticed that the scheduled remote starts in the Ford App are an hour off after the daylight saving time change over. Seems like they coded the app to not query the system clock for some reason.

If you use the app for that, make sure your start times are right!

I'll bet it's even worse.
The request probably sits on the Ford server.
That has the incorrect time.

Which also means for any data uploads from truck - wrong time.

Would be interesting test - schedule a start - make sure it seems to sync correctly - go to Airplane mode.
Does truck still start at selected time?
(well, except for standard time issue)

Here in Arizona we don’t need no stinkin’ time changes.

P.S. Anyone want to buy a house up at the edge of the mountains, only a couple of miles up th road from Old Tucson (where so many westerns were filmed?)

I just got an update to version 6.1. Might be worth checking out to see if it resolved this issue.

I'll let you know next year

I had mine set for a remote start before DST took effect. Today I went to add a new time and noticed the previously set time had gone back by 1 hour in the settings, but it has still been starting at the correct time. Weird.
