Is it possible to create or change an alarm from flow using HomeyScript?  
I haven’t found something in the SDK yet.

</div>

```auto
await Homey.alarms.createAlarm({
  alarm: {
    id: 'my-alarm',
    name: 'My Alarm',
    time: '12:34'
  }
})

```

See [the Web API documentation](https://athombv.github.io/node-homey-api/HomeyAPIV2.ManagerAlarms.Alarm.html).

Thanks, Robert. I only looked at teh SDK, not at WebAPI.

Isn’t there a Manager.clock to read the timezone? I only have a UTC time and need to convert to local time.  
In the app I use:

```auto
            let tz = this.homey.clock.getTimezone();
            now = new Date().toLocaleString(this.homey.i18n.getLanguage(), 
            { 
                hour12: false, 
                timeZone: tz,
                hour: "2-digit",
                minute: "2-digit",
                day: "2-digit",
                month: "2-digit",
                year: "numeric"
            });

```
