SLCs schedules are not handling day light saving time change

Question & Answer


Question

When there is a time change for day light saving the SLC's in Control Center are giving false alerts.

Cause

The time zone of Eastern Time was selected to be used in SLC schedule

Answer

Do no select 'Eastern Time' in Control Center when picking a time zone, as this is only EST and does not handle day light savings time.
EST is half of the New York time zone, effectively. It's always in standard time - it doesn't have the daylight saving part.

Use 'New York' as this time zone reflects day light saving times when they change.
