This article describes how to configure Daylight Saving Time (DST) on Howen devices for customers located, for example, in Belgium.
Belgium follows Central European Time (CET, GMT+1) and observes Daylight Saving Time (DST), switching to Central European Summer Time (CEST, GMT+2) during the summer months.
This article can also be used for customers in France, Germany, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain, Italy, and other CET/CEST countries with the same DST rules.
