NodeRed Time offset One hour

1

Ok, so my time settings in Hass.io is correct, my timestamps in the log is correct, but in my NodeRed it’s one hour wrong. I guess it could be a timeZone issue since I’m in Sweden. Do I need to change any config file for nodeRed or what?

As far as I remember I had a similar issue. I created a sensor in my Home Assistant configuration file. Based on this sensor I’m able to work with the correct local time in Node-RED. In my automation I use minutes only, therefore I transform the string time value within a function from “hh:mm” to minutes.

Configuration file:

sensor:
  - platform: time_date
    display_options:
      - 'time'
#      - 'date'
      - 'date_time'
#      - 'date_time_utc'
#      - 'date_time_iso'
#      - 'time_date'
#      - 'time_utc'
#      - 'beat'

Node-RED function:

function timeHHMM2Min(timeHHMM) {
    timeHH = Number(timeHHMM.split(":")[0]);
    timeMM = Number(timeHHMM.split(":")[1]);
    return timeHH * 60 + timeMM;
}
