Wrong time zone in HA

Can anyone explain why HA reports times in UTC (or is that normal?)

Here is an example from my states page:

Here is all the time info I could think of supplying:

It’s normal unfortunately.

Thanks.
I wonder why it’s taken me 18 months to notice??!!

Yeah I have been troubleshooting some automations and setup the Secondary-info-entity-row to display the last triggered and yeah… it’s UTC which is a mega PITA. I then used the template card to get local time for one I really wanted to not be scratching my head about all the time and that one displays a relative time so it says… 10 minutes ago etc.

Good idea, and in my defence for not spotting it, I am of course actually on UTC half the year!

Yeah I was going to point that out too.
