Repeating Google Calendar invites showing up at wrong time

[mholzma]

@sdetweil America/Central. The non repeating invites show up correctly.

@mholzma I am on central time too… and I see 18:15

in your config.js change this

	logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR"],

to this

	logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR","DEBUG"],

then start your MM like this from the command line (if using pm2, do a pm2 stop all)

npm start >somefile.txt

wait til the calendar is up
then ctrl-m to minimize MM
ctrl-c to stop mm

then edit the somefile.txt
and look for

[DEBUG] initial tz=America/Chicago
[DEBUG] corrected tz=America/Chicago

let me know…

@sdetweil, here is the log data I found and nothing seems off.

which says your system timezone is set to GMT time,

@sdetweil, you nailed it! Thank you so much.

I needed to add a timezone environment variable to my docker container. Thank you so much for pointing that out!

Planning to build a display (not smart mirror) for our kitchen and this was the hold up.
