Preparing Your Airfob Space Site for the End of Daylight Saving Time

As we approach the end of Daylight Saving Time (Summer Time) in regions like Europe, the UK, the United States, and Australia, it’s essential to ensure your Airfob Space site is ready for the transition back to standard time. Follow these three steps to confirm that access works smoothly.

Step One: Check Your Site’s Time Zone Settings

Where to go: Settings > Site > Settings > Time Zone

  1. Ensure that your site is set to the correct time zone.
  2. Toggle on the DST option if your region observes Daylight Saving Time.

Step Two: Configure DST Regions

Where to go: Settings > DST > + Add DST

  1. For each region with installed readers, set up a corresponding DST region.
  2. Select the relevant time zone for each region.
  3. Most users can simply enable Auto DST for automatic time adjustments. However, if you need to customize the transition (e.g., changing the time a few hours earlier or later than the standard switch), you may adjust these settings manually.

Step Three: Set Device Times

Where to go: Device Management > Registered Devices > Click on Device

  1. Verify that the time on each device is set accurately.
    • Note: Devices created before mid-November 2024 defaulted to GMT. After mid-November 2024, devices inherit the site time by default.
  2. Toggle on DST for each device if your region observes it.
  3. Repeat this process for all readers on your site.

Important: If your site spans multiple time zones, set each reader’s time zone carefully. This helps ensure accurate access logs and correct access timing for users.
