Hello - is there a way to set the system settings/preferences to show all dates & times in ISO8601 format?

Even though I am currently set to America/New\_York, it still shows dates as MM-DD-YYYY and (most) times in AM/PM.

No, Athom decides for you which formats and units your Homey will use, depending on its location.

You have to contact Athom to ask for this to be configurable: [https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360015784034-Submitting-a-support-request](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360015784034-Submitting-a-support-request)
