Vera 2 on UI4 clock keeps resetting to January 8th 2012

Hi

My Vera 2 has lost the ability to self set the time of day on bootup and loses time settings if I set them manually.

This all used to work when I first set it up.

As I am using it for time related activities this is a big problem for me.

I have made no changes at this end

Has something changed with the time server address that Vera talks to or has my unit developed a fault??

Any thoughts welcome

What version of UI4 are you on?

Been away all week so delayed reply

Trying to find the version number and can’t find it. The last version of UI4 I suspect. It is whatever Vera shipped with at the end of November 2011

Put in a tech support ticket today, got back from a week away and Vera had lost the time again.

It had been working reliably for several months and did a good job of controlling the heating all winter

Support fixed it for me remotely, apparently an “Open WRT issue”.

I’m having the same issue but mine is setting itself to March 19th 2012…

I have tried setting the timezone to New York in the Vera UI but no luck.

Does anyone know the default SSH login credentials for Vera 2?

It is root and your wireless password under the unit.

Any clue at what they did to fix the issue? All my scheduled tasks are completely off at the moment :S

I fixed my issue by running the following via SSH:

opkg update
opkg install ntpclient
/etc/init.d/ntpclient enable
/etc/init.d/ntpclient start

The “/etc/init.d/ntpclient enable” starts the NTP client at boot.
