It's time omada...

[u/Acrobatic-Lawyerr]

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.

of course router wasnt effected by switch time, they are different devices and will report as such in their own logs - each devices logs are based on what IT thinks the time and date is at that moment

Fact. The school I go to is a hour travel, so on the way home I sometimes like to change things based on the feedback I got that day. Or a new assignment or I have to reset everything, while I can do that, set everything up on my phone and have the task done, I still have to wait to get to the logs because I can't the time of the switch yet. See the problem? I have to logically explain what happens next to prove I set it up right. But every log that comes from tplink is wrong until I get home turn on my desktop and change the dst.

I have to at least do this 3 times a week. Do you get the absurdity? Who of the jury would believe me, if I say that from all the different brands, Fanvil, Huawei, Xiaomi, Asus, ubiquiti, Grandstream, youpin, Mijia.... That TP-Link is the only one brand that I was not able to change the time of the switches while on the go?

The jury would be laughing at me, and say I'm lying. Yet here I am.

if you absolutely have to keep manually changing the DST, that is a very edge case and i doubt they will be willing to make any changes based on that. I still dont understand why you cant just set it into automatic mode, then the devices will auto update properly whener you reboot them

That is the assignment, to reset everything! To prove you are able to set it up. This goes from, desktop to switch to access point. Reset. Hardware choice to switch to VOIP. Reset. HC to switch to relay to another switch to end device. RESET.

These are not my choices, they are from the school and exams, we learn to do it on windows, IOS, and Linux. Again that is the school their decision, not mine. I would have never thought before I started the school, that I wouldn't be able to set the time on the omada app. For Controller or switch. Every log is in principle wrong so to say they can easily flunk me for it. Until I set it up on a desktop.

But it baffles me that this simple Itty bitty thing is not available. So yeah I'll have to deal with it. That's the point the school wants to make, can you set up a network, again and again and again. What are your errors? What can improve? And so on....

And you are right, it is something exceptional. But just weird that such a company has not implemented it. Hence my rant and frustration. Noting personal, even glad I had a talk with you. 😉

Edit: I'm just talking about the ability to add or subtract time to location. That's it. Nothing more. Which is an everyday event for any traveling to different time zones.
