Schedule time has lost accuracy to the second. Now rounding to the minute #74

I've been testing this system for a little while now, and recently, the weather adjusted time stopped going from exact run times, like 5:38, to rounded times like 6:00. I've tested installing the previous version of sprinklers pi as well as installed on a fresh installation on another pi, and it still does the same thing.

Is this happening to anyone else now? Does anyone know what might cause this? I've been digging through package change logs, but I haven't had any success yet.

It's always rounded to the minute as far as I know... are you sure it wasn't reporting times like 5:58 ... I've seen that before where it's logged times are off by a few seconds.

Very strange. I don't have the logs anymore, but I was absolutely getting random seconds all over the place. Right now I get the odd 58 or 59 second mark, but when I first set it up, it was very sporadic to the point where I assumed it was a proper calculation. I'll just close it then since this is the intended function. Glad to know, because I spent way too much time already trying to figure out why it changed. Though I quite liked the perceived specific accuracy since my times are all 7 minutes or less.

Thanks for the confirmation. It was really doing my head in.
