Hello folks, I've added the date/time in my dashboards toolbar as discussed right here . It's working fine but it doesn't quite fit my needs because I need the local time of the raspberry to be displayed (The interface will always be launched from different devices). Currently it shows the time of …

Thanks for the explanation. In the meanwhile I also got the right solution for me. I am getting the server-time by the header of a ajax request: function getServerTime() { return $.ajax({async: false}).getResponseHeader( 'Date' ); } This value is sent directly to the displayed text.

toLocaleStrimg() takes two optional inputs locale and options [image] Date.prototype.toLocaleString() - JavaScript | MDN The toLocaleString() method returns a string with a language-sensitive representation of this date. In implementations with Intl.DateTimeFormat API support, this metho…

To show the local time of the node-red server rather than the browser you will have to convert it to a string in the server and pass that to the dashboard.

I believe there's a bit of confusion here. There are two things: the time and the representation. You are sending the time from the server IIUC, so the time displayed is the time of the server (rPi). That time is a number (milliseconds since 1970-1-1 UTC). You're asking the browser to format it and …

[image] tve: But however you format it, it's still the time of the server. Yes, but if @JustinB wants to display it in the browser, using the time zone of the server to format it, he will need to convert it to a string in the server and send that to the browser. Or, I suppose, send the timez…

His "problem statement" has "It is really important to me to have the functionality to check the local time of the raspberry because sometimes the time can't be synchronized automatically." This does not state or imply that the time has to be shown in the time zone of the server. If he wants to make…

@Colin @tve @E1cid First of all, thanks for your answers! @Colin is right. It's important to me to see the current time of the server/pi. The background is the following: I created a Interface which you can connect to a control unit. This control unit is wired with multiple sensors. The main func…

I would think you just need the server timezone, and send that to the browser to set toLocaleString() option timezone. [image] Date.prototype.getTimezoneOffset() - JavaScript | MDN The getTimezoneOffset() method returns the difference, in minutes, between a date as evaluated in the UTC t…

I've read the documentation but I'm a bit confused. What exactly is this doing? As I understood, the time of the user accessing (in my case) the interface is getting compared to the time of the server/pi? Or did I misunderstood something?

It returns the timezone offset of the server (or where ever you run the function). You would then send that in the template node to the browser. In the browser you use the timezone offset in the toLocaleString(), you can set an option of timezone. The browser should then convert the date object to a…

Sorry, I dont get it right now

Why do I have to get the timezone offset, when I just want to display the (wrong) time of the server?
