**sorry, I actually did not post my question correctly a few days ago (copy error)**
Here is the question in detail and correctly:
It seems that the date / time is output differently if a format is given in the output:
The time in the object table is: --\> 2021-03-18T16: 40: 25.859Z
Issue 1: **{{msg.payload}}** --\> 2021-03-18T16: 40: 25.840Z
Issue 2: **{{msg.payload | date: "yy.MM.dd HH: mm: ss"}}** --\> 03/21/2018 17:40:25
it looks like the output with the format date: **"yy.MM.dd HH: mm: ss"** increases the time by one hour!
**where can I get information about how time formatting works or how time is saved**
**I use Node-Red with ioBroker**

Please don't start a new thread, continue with the original. You can edit the title and first post to correct them if necessary. Also make sure you answer my question there - what is the correct time and timezone for the time values shown? Also check the current time and timezone settings on the machine running node-red and on the machine running the browser, if they are different machines.
