I feel silly asking this but my alarm for 6am now comes on at 7am and I cannot find any way to manually change the time. I rebooted the wiim pro and it is still off by 1 hour. Obviously I can change my alarms and trick it but I believe that I am missing something. Anyone know a trick? Thanks!
 
I don't think that the WiiM is aware of your time zone at all. When you define a new alarm it's probably converted by the app to the UTC and stored on the device this way. Any further DST changes cannot impact an alarm which is already stored.
 
Just changed the clock on the oven and the new microwave even changed itself. Still overslept because I forgot to reset the M-F alarms on the wiim. Seems a bit odd this simple functionally hasn't been incorporated yet. Any development on this would be greatly appreciated.
 
Just discovered this issue after buying WiiM in July and now the clocks have gone back in September. There needs to be a way to at least manually adjust the clock unless there is another workaround that exists e.g does deleting and recreating the alarms after the time zone change fix it?

Did not work for me. My wiim amp's clock is at 6am when it's 5am according to my timezone+dst.
Deleting and adding the alarm again fixes the issue
 
@WiiM Team What time service do the WiiM devices use? Is it NTP?
NTP relies on reference clock servers in order to synchronize the local system clock. Can there be an issue with connection to those?

Alarm times shall of course be saved and checked in local time, not in UTC. @WiiM Team Is that how it is done?

My own Ultra did change correctly last night where Europe changed to standard time.

...Aaaand...last night my Ultra failed to account for reversion to standard time in the US. Would be good for WiiM to describe the mechanism their devices are using to query and adjust time, since their internal clocks must drift slightly when left to their own devices. It's very puzzling when some devices adjust properly, and others don't.
 
My Wiim Amp did not go off at the set time this morning after the clocks changed. I've never used the alarm before, so I decided to test it by setting it to 6:15 am this morning; I happened to walk up to the system at 6:13 and waited for it to go off. It did not, so I set the alarm for 6:17 am and waited, and this time it went off. So does changing the alarm adjust the time?

I'm going to put in a feature request to display the current system time (with time zone and sync time buttons?) in the alarm menu.
