OK system is UTC as it should be, but when I enter say 9pm (local) on a NR form, UTC should 4am (where I am) but is shown as 5am, which means DST is ignored? Form result for 9pm entered... 1970-01-02T05:00:00.000Z clearly that is not right. I confirmed via UTC internet, 9am local should be 4am UT…

Exactly how are you entering the date and exactly how are you displaying it? Please post a simple flow for us to test. What time zone is the machine running the browser set to?

Probably related to this [image] Node-red date picker issue General I'm using node-red version 3.0.2. I observe that the date-picker node returns a random time on the date I select. This does not work for me (I want to add a specific time to the date). I observe that in gi…

Type 9 tab 00 tab, arrow to select PM, enter, for 09:00 PM. I mean that is pretty straight forward right?

Where have we got to do that? You haven't posted a flow. [image] Colin: What time zone is the machine running the browser set to? You haven't answered that question. It may be relevant.

I already provided the time zone configuration see above. The flow is not relevant. Just create a form and add a time input control, and test it. See my original post, system is UTC, time entered is local, the resulting ISO time format string is 1 hour off what UTC should be, which is in my area…

Does the same in the UK. Enter 19:30 and get 18:30 out. BST doesn't start until Sunday. Is it something to do with the fact that the date being used is 1970-01-0x? The reason for the 'x' in minutes, above the minutes are 02 and mine they are 1970-01-01T18:30:00.000Z

Yep, but with the Form time input you do not get a choice. This is the date used by the widget, that is what I think the problem is

There is a discussion of (probably) this topic at https://discourse.nodered.org/t/time-picker-in-ui-form-node-sends-wrong-time-in-output-payload/71296/54

So... in short there is no way to address this? But to force the system clock to some odd offset or something other than UTC, so the forum time widget can be used effectively? I guess I could stop using the canned time widget and just use a text box? But then I would have to parse the input?

Time confused? System is UTC, form entered time is local? But form returns wrong UTC encoding? Appears to be 1 hour off, like it is ignoring DST?
