New to Node-Red so if I need to post more information, lmk. I'm running Node-Red through Hassio on a Synology machine. The machine is set on the correct timezone, the docker containers are all set on the correct timezone, and in the settings.js file for Node-Red I'm also setting the correct timezone. Yet. Timestamps, sun events, and Big Timer are all giving the wrong time by a +5 hour shift. Any guidance would be appreciated.

The Z on the end of the timstamp indicates that it is showing you the UTC value, so sunset start 22:29:03 UTC. Assuming you are UTC+5 then that is the same time as 17:29:03 UTC+5.

Figured it was something very obvious I was missing. Thank you

Timezones can be incredibly confusing.
