Date & Time Conditions stuck in GMT Timestamp?

[AIC2000]

Anyone else noticed this? If the server is set in BST (British Summer Time), then time conditions are an hour out - even though being set by the FusionPBX popup calendar as the correct time. In dial plan, they are the correct time and date, but when the server is in BST - they don't kick in until an hour later.

Shame FusionPBX team took the issues tab off GitHub eh...

@AIC2000 The servers time should be set to UTC then adjust in the domains accordingly. Also, not a shame, worse IMHO, it damages the projects credibility both in terms of functionality but for many, transparency.

"even though being set by the FusionPBX popup calendar as the correct time"
There isn't a popup calendar that changes time zone or server time.

You set the time zone in then FusionPBX Menu -> Default Settings -> Domain -> time_zone then select the right name.

I said correct time, not timezone - I mean the little JS popup you get allowing you to select the time in the Time Conditions section of FusionPBX

It's OK though, I can resolve this by following @DigitalDaz recommendations.

I am noticing in 4.4 the 'time of day' check works great but the 'date & time' check isn't adhering to the time_zone variable for the domain even when the server is in UTC. The freeswitch confluence site appears to say that either time_zone or tod_tz_offset can be used for either of these dial plan conditions (minute-of-day or date-time). I don't think the fix would be at the FusionPBX layer but in the dial as it appears to support the offset and time zone corrections.

I am still working through how to best address this but thought I would post my findings.

Very interesting!

Any update on this? I have also found that 4.4 does not pay attention to the timezone when calculating the offset. My fix has been to set the Day & Time schedule to UTC but this is not very intuitive.
