Sunrise incorrect

I just bought a Rainmachine HD 16.  The firmware is 4.0.750 and says "no updates" available.

I see a few references in previous release notes to fixing sunrise issues... but it is still wrong.  I am in East Texas.  Sunrise tomorrow is 6:47 AM.  The Rain Machine computes it to be 4:46 AM.  Is it possible you're not applying the timezone correctly?

  Shrinks,

  I would like to personally take a look at your issue. Please open a ticket by going to http://rainmachine.com/help.php and using the "Contact Help" link. 

  I would like to make sure the unit is set correctly, I would also double check time zone settings and make sure the location is set right. 

  Thanks for your time and patience

  Oddly, it has resolved itself.

  I have made no changes whatsoever.  TZ is set to America/Chicago and the lat/long is correct.  The only thing that has changed recently is the unit was rebooted yesterday when I powered it off to add some new zone wiring.  (This isn't the first reboot since I have noticed the issue though.)

  It seems fixed for now.  Assuming Rainmachine uses the standard timelocal/localtime system calls, the only thing I can imagine would be something with tzdata database.
