Some older Google Home smart clocks can’t tell the correct time
Lenovo Smart Clock and Clock Essential can't seem to adapt to Canada's new daylight saving rules.
Several Lenovo Smart Clock and Smart Clock Essential units are displaying inaccurate time in various parts of Canada, following the country's decision to adopt permanent daylight saving time. This change includes territories like Alberta, parts of British Columbia, Manitoba, Northwestern Ontario, Saskatchewan, and the Yukon. While this eliminates the need to adjust clocks during the seasonal transitions, major tech companies like Lenovo and Google may have faced challenges in implementing the updates smoothly.
Google had previously warned that devices running outdated software or those older than a certain age would lose an hour on November 1, the day the time change was expected to take effect. However, the issue is not limited to Android devices, as Lenovo Smart Clocks seem to be affected as well.
