      @blissb can you add ,“DEBUG”
      to the log level in config.js

      then do
      from on the terminal window do

      cd ~/MagicMirror
      npm start > somefile.txt
      

      wait til the calendar is up, then Ctrl+q to stop mm

      then examine the somefile.txt

      search for ‘initial’

        I replied to this, but then received a notice that my submission was rejected. I don’t know why.

        The debug file has over 200 entries referencing “initial tz =” with both “America/New_York” and “America/Lima.” I do not know why Lima would be anywhere in my configs, but I believe it’s the same time as New York, so I’m not sure that’s instructive.

        I will also add there seems to be an “initial tz=” entry each followed immediately by “corrected tz=” with the same value.

          could you pull a complete section…
          thru “saving event”
          or send the file to me same userid as here at Gmail.

                  Not an exhaustive search – but so far every single “Lima” entry has been an all-day event, and I’m not seeing a “saving event” line for any of the ones I’ve checked so far. Here’s an example:

                    that means the system timezone is set to Lima.

                          I know I haven’t said it, but I really appreciate you looking at this… it’s been driving me nuts since the last update messed things up.

                          I just tested hard-coding the timezone in calendarfetcherutils.js – replaced “moment.tz.guess()” with “America/New_York” on line 29. That has removed the “Lima” entries in the debug log, but it has not corrected the time issue.

                          Yes, I’m running on a Pi. Here’s what’s in preferences:

                              On my second MagicMirror I restored the backup of the last version of MM, and made no other changes. The debug info shows no instances of the “lima” timezone, and all times are correct.

                              I went back to the most recent version, reran with debug, and the “Lima” instance is back, as are the wrong times.

                              I’ll be reverting to the previous version of MM for the moment, but please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help with troubleshooting this really annoying issue!

                                      Is there an easier way to get them other than just scrolling through the config.js?

                                      Modules in order:
                                      alert
                                      clock (correct after adding the timezone: option)
                                      calendar
                                      weather (Sunrise time is also 5 hours off - sorry if I failed to mention that earlier)
