Time zone map showing Amsterdam, but time zone is America/New York

Configuration
,
1

I’m running HA OS on a raspberry pi. My time zone is set to America/New York with the right elevation setting.

However on the map in General Configuration the marker is showing me in Amsterdam. I can’t figure out how to adjust this.

When I go to the developer tools and run this, everything looks correct:
{{ utcnow().tzinfo }}
{{ now().tzinfo }}
{{ now().astimezone().tzinfo

UTC
America/New_York
EST

However, when I look at the Sun entity it is showing the incorrect information (e.g. says sun will rise in 13 hours which is like 3am ET).

It appears something is out of sync. Any ideas how to troubleshoot/resolve?

look like HA does not know the the time zone

in the configuration.yaml file you should have

  packages: !include_dir_named packages
  # Name of the location where Home Assistant is running
  name: "Our House"
  # Location required to calculate the time the sun rises and sets
  latitude:    #<=  your x number
  longitude: #<= your y number
  # Impacts weather/sunrise data (altitude above sea level in meters)
  elevation: # <= how tall you are
  # metric for Metric, imperial for Imperial
  unit_system: metric
  # Pick yours from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
  time_zone: Pacific/Auckland
  # Customization file
  customize: !include customize.yaml

and if you dont use the “configuration.yaml”

you have to move the marker manully to your location

Thank you! Manually adding the long/lat to the config file solved the problem. I wasn’t able to manually move the marker on the map. Maybe a UI suggestion should be to add the longitude and latitude fields to the Config UI similar to elevation to make it easier to modify if the map interaction doesn’t work.
