Internal time handling
Jade Smart Cloud handles time internally in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) format. This also applies to the connected devices and the timestamps of the measured data – the system keeps everything in UTC time.
The Jade service, as well as the connected devices, automatically keep accurate time by synchronizing with Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers on the Internet.
What the user sees
The Jade service converts time values automatically according to the time zone configured in the user's profile. This means that even if the measurement devices are in a different time zone, a user will see the time stamps of measurements in their local time.
When a user connects to the Jade web application for the first time, the time zone of their device (for example, laptop or mobile phone) is detected and stored as part of their profile.

Users can view and change their personal time zone in their profile settings at any time. |
Effect of daylight saving time
The following effects will be visible on graphs and reports for users who are on a time zone that is currently in daylight saving time (DST, also known as "summer time"):
- For the one-hour period when the clocks are advanced toward daylight saving time, the timestamps for the hour are skipped and no data is shown for that hour.
- For the one-hour period when clocks return to standard time, the timestamps for the hour are repeated.
| Measurement data stored by the system is not altered due to these adjustments. Only the timestamps that are shown are affected. |
