Considering that it can turn lights off and one, couldn't Amazon have done better with it knowing where it is? My phone knows where it is.

I probably posted something similar here two years ago when I went to Minneapolis, but I don't remember.
You can change the time zone in the app. When I bought a Spot a few months ago, I installed it as normal, and the clock was an hour off. What the ...

When I dug into it I found that it was set to Hawaiian Daylight time. What the ... There is no such thing as HDT, Hawaii doesn't observe DST, so all we get is Hawaiian Standard Time. I set it to HST and all was well.
