Hello! I see you’re having an issue with the incorrect local timer in the INKBIRD app. To get us started, could you tell me a bit more about the problem? For example, is the timer showing the wrong time, or are you getting an error message when setting the timer? Also, which INKBIRD device are you using, if any?

Meanwhile, a common cause for an incorrect local timer is having the phone’s time zone or device time not set correctly or out of sync with the app or device. Since you’re on an Android 10 device with WebKit browser, we’ll check both your phone’s and device’s time settings.

Here’s a step-by-step approach to troubleshooting the incorrect local timer issue:

1. Check your phone’s date, time, and time zone settings:
- Go to Settings > System > Date & time.
- Make sure “Automatic date & time” and “Automatic time zone” are enabled. This ensures your phone syncs time with the network.

2. Verify that no VPN or proxy is active:
- Sometimes, having a VPN or proxy server enabled can cause time sync and location issues. Try disabling any VPN or proxy and see if the problem resolves.

3. Check the device’s local time setting in the app:
- Open the INKBIRD app and go to your device’s settings.
- Look for “Local time” or “Device time” settings and make sure it matches your current time zone.

4. Synchronize device clock:
- Some INKBIRD devices allow manual clock correction. If your device supports this (like the IIC-800-WIFI Smart Sprinkler Controller), adjust the time through the app to the correct local time.

5. Restart both your phone and the INKBIRD device:
- Rebooting can often help refresh the connection and apply updated time settings.

6. Update the app and device firmware:
- Ensure your INKBIRD app is up to date via the Google Play Store.
- If your device's firmware can be updated through the app, apply the latest updates.

If after these steps, the timer remains incorrect or you see error messages like “Incorrect local timer, please correct it. 50502,” it may help to log out and log back into the app or uninstall and reinstall the app to reset any cached settings.

Please give these a try and let me know what happens or if you see any specific error messages. Also, if you can share the exact error text or when the problem occurs (e.g., setting schedules, device sync), that would help me refine the advice.

Are you satisfied with this initial guidance?
