I have a hot water recirculating pump that I was earlier operating using smart-life scenes. The routine failed if there was an internet outage at any triggers. I also did not want the pump to needlessly run 24/7. So, I converted it to OpenBeken. It was easy to open and see the marking on the chip. It wasn't glued. Used tuya-cloudcutter on this device and then wrote this autoexec.bat for it to work autonomously. More refinements with DST implementation and MQTT and HA are in my bucket list. Let me know if there are any suggestions to improve this:

AI: Could you share the exact brand and model of your hot water recirculating pump or the Tuya-based device you converted to OpenBeken?
1. Watts Hot Water Recirculation 120V Pump (0955800)
2. 10A KR2201WB Wi-Fi Wireless Smart Basic Switch for Smart Home Smart Life APP Compatible with Alexa & Google Home Assistant No Hub Required
AI: Are there any specific issues or limitations you've noticed with your current script, or are you mainly looking for general suggestions and best practices?
I am using a manually changeable channel 11 for Daylight adjustments. I wish there was a way to compute and change to daylights automatically based on the NTP data. Or if there was an easy IF Endif combo that would allow me to to change DST time without any manual interventions.

I have a follow on question:
My NTP is set correctly however its not picking it from local server and when I enter ntp commands they are rejected:
Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard
Debug:CMD:cmd [ntp_enable 1] Error:CMD:cmd ntp_enable NOT found (args 1) Info:CMD:[WebApp Cmd 'ntp_enable 1' Result] Unknown command

It also rejectd accepting NTP server address:
Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard
Debug:API:POST to api/cmnd Debug:CMD:cmd [ntp_server 192.168.116.1] Error:CMD:cmd ntp_server NOT found (args 192.168.116.1) Info:CMD:[WebApp Cmd 'ntp_server 192.168.116.1' Result] Unknown command

It may be default enabled once started and not sure how to fix ntp_enable but I figured out and corrected ip setting for it ntp_setServer 192.168.116.1:
Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard
Info:NTP:NTP server set to 192.168.116.1 Info:CMD:[WebApp Cmd 'ntp_setServer 192.168.116.1' Result] OK
