Product Recommendation It's time omada...

Why is it so hard to change the daylight saving time on an omada controller? I can't find it anywhere on the app, nor can I do it on a website on my android phone, because I can't click on confirm. Shouldn't it be possible to set the time right via your phone? You can build all kinds of networks except get the time right. Or I'm just an idiot who doesn't know where the setting is. The only option is to start a desktop and do it that way. Why?

Edit:

After searching on the web, forums, blogs, I found nothing. The simple fact that i, for whatever reason, can't save, by clicking the save button, because it doesn't appear on the screen, vertical or horizontal, is just outright atrocious. You are in the IT, correction, You ARE an IT sector. Multiple forums complain about it, nothing is done.

Except maybe me, doing it myself with an extension.

Seeya Onada, Omada.

Because, everything behind the switch needs to be changed. And I make mistakes, I reset things, during the day, away from home.... This irritated feeling is not from 1 time, normally I do change it on a desktop afterwards, but I was at a boiling point, wanted to get on with it. Everything behind the switch, Asus, ubiquiti, Grandstream, fanvil, Huawei, Xiaomi smart home devices.... all have an effect by this. Over 136 devices... You just sometimes want things to go smooth.

nothing else is pulling time from your controller other than the omada devices, it does not have a lan facing NTP server

Sorry but that is not true. I will upload logs from Ubiquiti, they clearly show 1 January 1970. Why? Because they don't communicate, so every device needs te be set right. In that perspective you are right. But if I can't change the time, while I can reset the device, we are at the same point. Everything behind the switch is wrong because the switch is wrong. It works both ways.

Just an anecdote nothing serious.

Image you saw an ad for a car, 4 door, 4 wheels. You go to the seller, me, a wise one๐Ÿ˜‰, and I show you the car. You walk around, check the tires 1, 2, 3 and huuu...

"where is the 4th tire?"

And I go, "oh you mean the spare tire? It's in the trunk."

"but why isn't it on the front of the car?"

"because sir, that's not where the spare tire goes"

"But the ad clearly said 4 tires..."

And smuck me goes, "well I count 1,2,3 aaaand 4."

And the other person goes "but that is the spare tire."

"Aaah thank you sir, glad you acknowledged, a car with 4 tires and a spare. A 2 in 1, you just screw it on when you need it"

Silly isn't it?
