Notification time ahead by 1 hour
Good day.
My notifications all come through ahead by 1 hour. Initially my camera's where not in the correct time zone. I corrected that to UTC +2 Africa/Cairo. Camera's now all show correct but all alert notification still come through as 1 hour ahead. The hubs time has also been correct. The same goes for all other smart button event logs - ahead by 1 hour.
Please advise on how I can fix this annoying problem.
I've checked that all firmware is on the latest version including the iOS app + Hub + Camera's
Thanks

Hi,
The time zone you select on your iPhone is Cape Town and this region does not implement Daylight saving time, while the time zone you select on the Tapo app for your Tapo devices is UTC+02:00 Africa/Cairo and this region implements Daylight saving time, and this may be the reason that the notification always shows one hour ahead.
Please select UTC+02:00 Africa/Harare as your Tapo devices' time zone and then check if the problem will be solved.

Live view - this is fine - phone and camera time match:
Time zone is UTC+02:00 Africa/Cairo. Im in South Africa, so chose this time zone.
Here is the problem. Notification time incorrect - 1 hour ahead
Also notice button events 1 hour ahead of phone time:
2. What's the version of your Tapo app?
2.18.0
3. Please send me the MAC address of the Tapo C420 via private message.

Yes Tapo c320ws have the same problem
2. May I know the time zone configured on your phone?
It's iphone so it shows like this - which is the city I am in so should be the same as UTC +02h00
I'm thinking this bug is created becauses initially the time zone I selected was different and everything was ahead 1 hour. I'm thinking that if I remove everything and then put it back this problem should be gone. Pain in the a$# to do cos I have alot of items, but I recon that will fix it. Let me know what you think
