Yup, 2 hrs difference according to [developer.athom.com](http://developer.athom.com):

Yea, I’m aware of the UTC vs. local time sh\*t.  
Why did Athom change the system time to UTC. Very impractical for ‘normal’ @ home use imho.

Well, it’s a big discussion about what time to use, this is Geurt’s view on it:

> Hi Aart, Sorry I missed your msg. Question, What is your Timezone (Where does your Homey Live) and what time do you see in: [Homey Developer Tools](https://developer.athom.com/tools/system) in Papertrials Log and in your Syslog server? I use internally and send the UTC/ Zulu time in my app ( var logDate = new Date(); ) For me it is in [Homey Developer Tools](http://developer.athom.com/tools/system:) |date|“2019-03-05T20:43:20.533Z”| |dateHuman|“dinsdag 5de maart 2019 21:43:20”| and in Papertrails Log I see: [2019-03-05T20:43:40.035Z] test 21:43 in my Syslog server…

So if Hscript Date() returns zulu time, the new day / next day flows which triggers scripts using that, should be running at 02:01AM during Day Saving time,  
and at 01:01AM during ‘normal local time’.  
My holy, who invented this mess🙈

But, to keep it practical, for me this does the job:  
I won’t need written / spoken weekdays or months before 6:00AM UTC+2  
So the flows can run at 02:01AM UTC on my system.
