I am starting slowly with HA, and is now looking at node-red for a couple of automation flows.
And now I have found something which I am not able to fix. It look as if node-red is getting the time from the host os - which is using Etc/UTC, on top of that the time is of some minutes (enough to bother me).
I got time_zone: Europe/Berlin in my configuration.yaml.
When I setup the bigtimer to trigger something at sunset (light), then it will do it 2 hours and about 10 minutes after it should take place.
I think this part of HA needs a work over, it should be possible to set a timezone which then control time for all components.
I’ll look at a different installation method where it’s possible to control the timezone for the underlying platform, as it should be easier than this.
I have never used big timer, but if big timer needs your lat/lon then supply it.
Since I never used that node I have never had any issues. All time and date I have done has been correct.
