Correct time emonGLCD

Submitted by Yukimura Sanada on Thu, 10/09/2015 - 20:06

Hi, i have installed emonGLCD and connected to emonTX 3 and emonBase with Raspberry Pi 2. I'm not able to obtain a correct time on LCD. The time is -2 hour from my home time. In settings of emoncms i have Timezone UTC +2:00. I live in Italy.

Why LCD don't show correct time? Thanks

The timezone in emoncms only sets the timezone for that users account within emoncms, the emonGLCD time is normally provided by emonHub which uses "UTC" timezone (well, unixtime to be precise) as it's core and the "local" time for emonGLCD is determined from the Raspberry Pi's timezone.

So you will need to set the timezone manually on the command line directly or using "sudo raspi-config", either way if you are running read-only you will need to use "rpi-rw" beforehand.
