Data mismatch during time conversion

I try to convert the time to STRING in nodered and I always get the result one hour higher. How do I do it right?

Thanks for helping with this issue!

Solution

  • Node-RED uses the timezone of the OS it's running on (not the browser you access it with).

    You can use the TZ environment variable to set the active timezone before starting Node-RED and it will run in the timezone you want.

    e.g.

    export TZ=Europe/Paris

    Also it's important to notice that the input times are in UTC (as denoted by the Z on the end so are being converted to BST which is why there is an hours difference.
