Timed rules are not working correctly

I have a rule to disable traffic to/from the internet to a specific device that triggers between 2 and 8 every morning and it did not trigger this morning.  It might be related to the DST switchover.  I deleted the rule and tried to recreate it to get it to take effect, but it would no longer allow me to set a start time at 2 AM.

I was also unable to get the new block rule to work at all when adding it during the blackout period (internet access still worked for the target device), so I don't know how frequently rules are pushed to the active list.  It might be helpful to have a drop and reload option to force the rules to be reinserted from the current configuration.

  This happened to me this morning and it appears as though Daylight Savings Time didn't change on the firewalla for me.  I'm in NJ, so we are 1 hour ahead now.  My rules that were based on a schedule shutting off at 9am shut off at 10am.  So it leads me to believe that the firewalla didn't handle daylight savings time.

  I came here because I am looking to find out if I missed some setting for that.

  FYI - I SSH'd into my firewalla and ran 'date' and the time appears to be correct, so I'm not sure what happened.  I don't want the rules time to be off tonight and into tomorrow morning.  I hope they handle this.  Will enter a support ticket on it
