> Clocks go back tonight - do your smart home gadgets actually handle the fall-back, or are you still fixing clocks by hand?

> Daylight saving ends tonight, November 1, so we gain an hour and every clock in the house has to fall back. My phone and laptop will sort themselves out, but I am expecting the usual suspects - microwave, oven, car dashboard, the old alarm clock - to be wrong all Sunday. For people with smart speakers, thermostats, and connected lights, does the fall-back actually go smoothly now, or do automations and schedules still glitch for a day? Which devices do you still have to fix by hand every single year?

> The microwave always wins

> The microwave always wins, and by wins I mean it is wrong until I fix it. Phones and laptops handle the change fine. The microwave, the oven, and the car clock need a manual fix every single year, no exceptions. My system costs nothing: a phone reminder for Sunday morning, then I walk through the house and fix them all in one pass instead of noticing them one by one all week.
