        I did this

        {
          module: "clock",
          position: "top_left",
          config: {
            timezone: 'Etc/GMT+5.30'
          }
        }
        

        As my time zone is GMT+5.30
        but it returned error

              }

              is that the LAST module in the list, or ???

              maybe u need a comma after the last }

              also, watch out on single quotes… sometimes you get the MS WORD format of the quote, which is NOT the right one…

              change those to double quotes

                you can also use https://www.jslint.com/
                to check the syntax of the config file…

                copy/paste it in and at the bottom check boxes for
                long lines
                single quotes
                whitepsace mess

                the press jslint

                u may have to remove the last ‘,’ (comma), before ]

                  }
                  }

                  @sdetweil is correct. You need the comma after the closing bracket, as such }, With that correction, the config syntax is satisfied and the module will run. However, it does generate this error in the dev console.

                  Moment Timezone has no data for Etc/GMT+5.30.

                  Please see this for for information.
                  https://momentjs.com/timezone/docs/#/data-formats/packed-format/

                  And this list. Perhaps you can find an appropriate timezone within this list.

                        @postremalone ok, so you got rid of the config.js error, and the mirror is working, except for weather?

                        looking at the config.js screen shot there is no locationID value (last line) … got to have one
