Default Clock wrong after update
-
Hi ,
After the newest MM update, the clock module is displaying UTC time, despite my RPi config set to EST.
Interestingly, when I head to my MMs IP address from a separate computer, the clock is correct.
Any ideas? Thanks!

@drstang does setting the
timezone
config option adjust it ?https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/clock.html#configuration-options

@drstang another user had a similar problem with the calendar…
rebuilt with a different pi and the problem went away…lets try this
pm2 stop all (or stop MM if you didn't use pm2) cd ~ rm -rf .config/Electron pm2 start all

@sdetweil Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately - no luck. Still displaying UTC instead of EST.
-
@drstang thx… and you are certain the SYSTEM timezone is set to EST
i can’t upload a pic of the config page on the pi… weird
-
@sdetweil Yep - did it several times to make sure!
And the Mirror will show EST when I access it via a web browser!

@BKeyport thanks but unfortunately that does not work either - it results in the clock module not even loading (unless there was something else I should have adjusted)…
EDIT: I realized I changed the modules config initially, which didn’t work. But I changed the main config (duh - reading is key) and added the config/timezone line, which worked!! thank you!
-
@drstang At least you can override it for now…
-
Just updated my MM, clock is showing 18:13 when it’s 11:54…

@drstang I don’t understand this, the code does
if (this.config.timezone) { now.tz(this.config.timezone);
which means it only uses its own config values, not the global config.
when I set it like this
{ module: "clock", position: "top_left", config:{ displaySeconds:false, timezone:"UTC" } },
it correctly changed the displayed time from 08 (us central time) to 13
if I set it like this
timeFormat: 24, units: "metric", timezone:"UTC", modules: [
it did not change the displayed time (as expected)
