Lure - Is there a way to set timezone for SK em...

Is there a way to set timezone for SK embedded NodeRed? I would like that Date() in NR works with localtime and not UTC. I was trying to set it via plugin settings, but it seems it does not work.

Yeah, that won't work Assuming that you are on a unix system, edit ~/.signalk/signalk-server

#!/bin/sh

export TZ="Europe/Amsterdam"
node /usr/lib/node_modules/signalk-server/bin/signalk-server -c /home/sbender/.signalk $*

#!/bin/sh

export TZ="Europe/Amsterdam"
node /usr/lib/node_modules/signalk-server/bin/signalk-server -c /home/sbender/.signalk $*

Tnx, will try when I get back to boat (no remote ssh to Cerbo)

Oh. It’s going to be different on VenusOS. I’ll let you know…

it sounds complicated. Maybe I will just addapt my code to add TZ offset in calculations (I just need to detect local time hour).

Actually have not found a way to do it that would not get overwritten by a Venus OS software update

@Scott Bender thanks for the effort. Will workaround in code.
