Does this unit (or any other) automatically adjust for the daylight savings change?

Yes. By setting the current time and date, this unit knows whether it is standard or daylight savings time and will make the appropriate changes on the correct date. One of the few clocks in my house that will do this.

If you are looking just to adjust for DST the is a switch on the bottom that handles that. If you are setting the time there are several buttons on the bott of the unit.

Yes. I also had the older version and would need to change the time zone setting when it adjusted on the older DST schedule. This one is up to date. One of the reasons I bought it.

As long as the back up battery is good, it's automatic. It even changes for DST by itself.

there is no settings. However, as long as you matched your local time. It works very well.

Hi, Miachael,I have had the power go out before and did not have to change the time or date; the only time that I have changed it is for Daylight Savings.

It automatically adjusts. I used it for 4 months in Australia with no problem.

Yes, it does. I did have some issues in the beginning as far as waiting for it to set itself to the correct time however, this may be an issue for you as well.

There are only the preset hours. It goes to a warming setting after the preset time.

Mine doesn't ....and the timer by Area Code doesn't work well either. Easy to set, but turned on at least two hours before dusk when using my Area Code. Had to buy something else to get true dusk to dawn.

Cant answer positively but seems to me that if it doesn't perhaps you could just set it to whatever time zone matches your current time?

Just make sure you set the new one to the correct time zone. Its buried somewhere in the Honeywell software options. Mine reset to the incorrect time as well (after I manually reset the time.) I'm in AZ and the daylight savings option was throwing everything off.

yes. example, my settings were: Mon-Thur, Off 3am-6pm. On 6pm-3am/ Fri, Off 3am-Sat 7am On 7am-7pm/ Off Sat 7pm-Sun 7am On 7am-3pm. Very programmable for each of seven days. My opinion though is the more it turns on and off, the shorter the life of the unit.

No, that feature does not exist. However, we have the auto timer engaged, turning the frame on from to 5 -11 PM.

The time on mine always resets after I turn it off and back on. However, it always sets to the correct date, and exactly one hour behind the correct time regardless of what I've set it to. It's almost as if it has a way to automatically set the time, but has the wrong time zone or daylight saving time set. I thought it might be getting the info from the GPS; but I recently traveled to a different time zone, and it reset the time to two hours behind. In other words, it didn't know that I traveled to a different time zone.

This is an excellent timer, and I have installed several. However, if you use the automatic DST feature to constantly adjust the "ON" time as the seasons change, then the length of time that the lights remain "ON" will constantly change as well. What I means is that in the programming mode, you would have to select a specific time for the lights to turn back "OFF". If the current automatic DST sunset brings the lights on at 8:00pm, you could program the "OFF" time as 10:00pm. However, in a few months the sunset time will automatically adjust to 5:30pm (depending where you live of course) however the "OFF" program will remain at 10:00pm. In most cases this isn't a problem, in fact it's usually a convenient solution for most lighting control. Hope this helps. P.S.- I find these timers to be way easier to program than any other in the wall timer I've encountered, and there are no batteries to change.

Adapter yes. Daylight Savings comp., no. So if you're on clock-based watering restrictions you'll have to tweak it if you're watering during that changeover period to keep the water gestapo away...small potatoes.
