Time zone in A-Z in Node-Red

If you let JavaScript convert to text, it should save it with the "Z" timezone so Excel or other tools should be able to convert at point of use by a person. Or if the CSV ends up in a DB or another system, you should be sticking with UTC anyway.

Ignoring DST.

If doing this in node.js, you don't need any custom functions I don't think.

let myutc = new Date()
return myutc.toLocaleString('en-US', { timeZone: 'EST' })

Gives the date/time in format local to Eastern Standard Time which is UTC-5.

This will take care of the occasional changes to DST swapovers and will deal with those awkward times that are on the swapover itself, usually 2am.
