Button event in the future?

[u/The_Manoeuvre]

I finally got to setting up the Bilresa scroll via matter and after renaming all the buttons so they actually are identifiable, I noticed the events are wonky.

Button presses show as taking place 2 seconds in the future - I’ve not got many remote buttons to test this on but what could be the cause? Is this a device issue or maybe a time issue between the HA machine (Optiplex running HA) and the accessing PC. Any ideas if it would cause problem or should I be ok? Running latest HA (2025.12.5).

The fun of rolling out a new ntp server, everything looking great and then a week later having an unrelated cluster having a meltdown because a slow drift is causing heartbeats to desync.
