I have been running into instances where scenes are failing to execute at the expected time or executing at unexpected times.

For example, I have a scene which turns on all my outdoor lights 30 minutes after sunset. It ran unexpectedly this morning a 6:15 AM. The log for the scene indicates that it ran TOMORROW at 5:15 PM. This is pointing to some sort of Time of Day or time zone issue. I checked the Time of Day and time zone settings on the host PC and found everything to be in order. Is there any way to coax the percieved Time of Day from the Axial/InControl software to verify what time it thinks it is?

One thing you might want to check is the following.

Options
Misc

Check to make sure the longitude and lattitude are correct for your location.

Hope that helps.

Each entry in the logfile.txt is prefixxed by the system time. Are those also incorrect in your setup? Have you rebooted to see if the oddness clears up?
