If you still have a “dumb” pump like me (OmniPod Dash, no DIY looping), then remember to change back to standard time if that applies to you where you live.

Actually, in my Loop version, you have to change the time zone manually too.
Not sure if this applies to other Loop versions, but on mine, I have to do that.
Not sure why they did it that way. I think the idea is so it does not do it by itself, in case you travel or whatever.

Last Tuesday I flew from Texas to Connecticut to be with my in-laws. We attended a Mass for my wife and then had lunch. Here’s the clan:
About pump and time change, after I landed I was notified and did the change, later today a12:30 PM to 11:30🤪got notified again because I set the pump to 11:30PM.
Maybe I’ll do it right Tuesday in Texas. Hope the Air Traffic Controllers are working.

With AndroidAPS there’s a warning to “set a profile” but that doesn’t work, at least not with Omnipod Dash, and the closed loop gets suspended for 3 hours (I think, I was asleep). There is, however a button “set time” which appears magically on the Omnipod page and that is all that is required.
I find it incredibly dumb. I don’t have any settings that vary by time-of-day at but even if I did the pump and/or AIDS can see an extra hour has to be inserted (in this case) and can work out a safe way to do this, much safer than most people can manage at 1AM in the morning.
That’s certainly a bug. These days times are (and should be) kept in UTC with an offset; the bad of DOS days of using “local” time are long gone. Both the pump and the controller should do this and, I argue, should also know how to do timezone adjustments safely; summer time is just a different time zone, same as flying from the west coast to the rockies.

How would the pump know a time zone was crossed? It doesn’t have WiFi or gps with no connection to anything but a CGM unless cabled to a computer.
I suppose that it could sync to the phone time that it’s paired too.

I didn’t do it on Liam’s and it’s still working, so I guess it was addressed in later versions.
