        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)

                        @sdetweil I have a script that moves the MM directory to backup, gets rid of the various package-lock.json files, then does a git pull && npm install --only=prod --omit=dev

                          @blissb ok. see these
                          https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

                          and

                          https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

                          I’m wondering if the npm install in the vendor folder failed. that is where moment is loaded

                          the fact that clock and weather and calendar are all messed up., is pretty interesting

                            I renamed the MagicMirror directory, and re-installed using the install script – iirc that’s what I used initially.

                            Sadly, no change.

                            Giving up for now – may poke at it more tomorrow. Thanks again.

                                I think I can do that. I’ll send it after work.

                                  You’ve probably seen it by now - but I’ve sent you the config.js.

                                  Also, I saw some info about times being correct when viewed on a remote browser. I’ve tried setting the external browser in my “mm.sh” script to both midori and firefox (both are installed). Neither makes a difference.

                                    If this is a red-herring / rabbit-hole, I apologize in advance. I haven’t done any javascript in 10+ years… all this is sorcery to me. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

                                    I configured it to allow remote access via a browser on my desktop machine. On the pi running the newer (wrong time) version of MM, the browser displays the correct time, while the pi displays the wrong time. That’s kind of fascinating to me… clearly the browser is calculating the times on its own.

                                      @blissb yes, someone else reported similar issue

                                      the Midori/Firefox only work if the start line is changed in package.json

                                        @blissb would you be willing to send me one of the extracted ics files

                                        curl -sL the cal_url >somefile.ics.txt
                                        

                                        because those are the ones causing the shift problem…
                                        I want to see how the ICS is coded
