Hi all,

I am actually faced with an interesting issue.
I am using KStars 3.3.9 with a 10Micron GM2000HPS.
Because my mount is connected with a GPS module, I decided to configure in general INDI Configuration, that Mount will update KStars Time and Location.

But randomly the time is set to UTC or Local Time after I connected the mount. I want Local Time in KStars.

In the log file I found following lines:

If Local Time is set (as I expect it):
[2020-01-19T08:47:50.359 CET DEBG ][ org.kde.kstars.ekos.mount] - Mount status changed from "Error" to "Idle"
[2020-01-19T08:47:50.667 CET INFO ][ org.kde.kstars.indi] - Setting UTC time from device: LX200 10micron "So. Jan. 19 07:47:51 2020 GMT"
[2020-01-19T08:47:50.765 CET DEBG ][ org.kde.kstars] - Daylight Saving Time inactive
[2020-01-19T08:47:50.765 CET DEBG ][ org.kde.kstars] - Next Daylight Savings Time change (Local Time): "So. März 29 01:00:00 2020 GMT"
[2020-01-19T08:47:50.765 CET DEBG ][ org.kde.kstars] - Next Daylight Savings Time change (UTC): "Sa. März 28 00:00:00 2020 GMT"

If UTC is set:
[2020-01-19T08:48:21.448 CET DEBG ][ org.kde.kstars.ekos.mount] - Mount status changed from "Error" to "Idle"
[2020-01-19T08:48:21.790 CET INFO ][ org.kde.kstars.indi] - Setting UTC time from device: LX200 10micron "So. Jan. 19 06:48:22 2020 GMT"
[2020-01-19T08:48:21.889 CET DEBG ][ org.kde.kstars] - Daylight Saving Time inactive
[2020-01-19T08:48:21.889 CET DEBG ][ org.kde.kstars] - Next Daylight Savings Time change (Local Time): "So. März 29 01:00:00 2020 GMT"
[2020-01-19T08:48:21.889 CET DEBG ][ org.kde.kstars] - Next Daylight Savings Time change (UTC): "Sa. März 28 00:00:00 2020 GMT"

As I can see in the log, in the second case the time is 2 hours after the local time. No idea why, because the mount shows on hand controller always the correct UTC or local time.
I am not able to reproduce the behaviour. Sometimes it sets UTC sometimes it sets GMT after connection.

Attached a log file of 2 connections.
Thank you for your support.

CS,
