charging start time reset?

[kbjpick]

Has anyone noticed their selected charging time being reset in the last few days. My car is set to charge on Octopus tariff at 00:30 and last night my Efergy recorder and the Honda notification advised it started at 23:30! Costs me an hour of premium instead of cheap rate electricity - just asking!

No problem for me, I've just checked, but then I'm using the EVSE settings & not the car's.
What do you use to set the charge time, from your comment is it by setting the car schedules?

If you set both car and charger to same time slots there should be no charging outside those slots if oneside or the other defaults

That's fine if you never charge outside of the set hours, however it's too much hassle changing two separate systems for those times when an additional charge is required at the higher unit rate.

Since inception i.e. Sept 20 I have been using car setting to select car charging times - without issue. After noticing earlier start of charging last night from notification from Honda Message AND corroboration by Octopus and Efergy I went to car to investigate. Car is c100m from house in car barn. On entering car the car prepared for travel and clock display indicated 10:30 (it was 09:30 actual time -) and as I wondered why it had defaulted to another time zone - it changed as I watched it to the correct 09:30 time. I speculate that recent software update had altered time to Honda Server time? I have put car to charge tonight i.e 00:30 > until full and will revert with findings tomorrow. No jokes about BST please.

Here's how to set the clock and how it obtains the time if set to auto:

Charging reverted to correct 0030 start time after clock reset itself yesterday. Again, I suspect an influence of recent software upgrade and Honda server temporarily setting clock to it's (the server) settings which reset at first power up after upgrade. No worries - all ok.
