Daylight saving switch

I would really like a daylight savings switch in Home assistant so I can tell it if it is daylight savings or not because currently it is daylight savings here in Tasmania and home assistant is an hour in front of the real time

You need to set your location correctly. I am in the same state. Home Assistant correctly updated to DST.

I believe there is a template that will display 1 or 0 depending on DST but if your location is wrong then it will also be wrong.
Countries don’t switch at the same time so location is very important

I’ll have a look I swear its got my home pinned for geofencing ( update) set to Hobart eastern standard time that’s correct for Tasmania yea? But it’s saying +11 normally it’s +10 that’s standard for us the +10

It’s DST atm so 11+ is correct.

I’v got this:

 - platform: template
   sensors:
     is_dst:
       value_template: >-
         {{ now().timetuple().tm_isdst > 0 }}
       friendly_name: "Daylight saving"

It’s a binairy sensor.
Have a look here.

I’ve got an issue with Chrome (on a Mac) not recognising daylight saving at the moment - not just in HA too
