I am trying to configure my recorder, and I've run into some trouble configuring the date and time. The time is off by approximately two hours and the date won't change from 1/1/1970. I've tried using 3 different USB cables and 2 laptops (Mac and Windows OS). It's still not working. What do you recommend?
Thank you!
Same problem here (app v1.2.2) : local time adjusts only to UTC difference but date stays on 01/01/1970.
Just to close the loop, these issues turned out to be recordings that were made when the switch was moved from CUSTOM back to USB/OFF when SD cards were switched out. The switch probably over-shot into DEFAULT mode so that the AudioMoth started to make an immediate recording and then stopped when the switch was moved to USB/OFF.
Can you send me that file - alex.rogers@cs.ox.ac.uk. I might be about to see why it stopped early and started at a strange time.
Hi Alex, I tested the recorder over the last two days. I was going through the recordings, and I found something odd with the date and time of recording. The recorder skipped the recording at 6:50 and 7:00 PM. The recorder was configured to the local time on my computer, which is Indian Standard Time (UTC + 5.5).
Thank you,
Pooja
Will keep that in mind. Thanks, again!
Hey Alex, I hadn't clicked the 'Configure Audiomoth' button since I assumed it'd configure to the incorrect time shown in the window. I just tried it again and I got the correct time. Thanks!
Hi, it doesn't work even in UTC mode, when not set to my computer's local time. Here is a screenshot.
Yes, I'm in India, so it is indeed UTC + 5.5. I tried changing my computer's local time to Eastern Standard Time (5:26 AM EST and 9:25 AM UTC at the moment) and it didn't work. Screenshot below.
Also, I'm concerned about the date not changing either.
Thank you!

Hi, Does it work correctly in UTC mode? Is the local time zone really UTC +5.5? If so, that's probably the problem as the firmware doesn't support fractional timezones. Alex
