Hi all, I’m terribly sorry to ask such a basic question, but I really can’t find it in the app and also not in the community. My flows don’t give the right results because appearantly the time in my Homey is 1 hour earlier than the ‘real’ time. How do I adjust the time in Homey? ---

Location I see in the developer mode is Amsterdam, NL, which is good. Just to check, where can I set the location? See here the Homey time and my (correct) Windows time: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/c/bc26feffa943520f1bddbd34ccd363c6253b298d.png) ---

Location is set in mobile app: More → Settings → Locations If you experience problems with location you can try to switch off “Find Homey’s location automatically” and move your location on the map manually. ---

Hey I lost my internet connection for several days. Still haven’t got it back after 3 days. Then my flows started to act weired. I discovered that the time was wrong. My impression is that homey doesn’t really have a fully working clock that works without internet connection. The date and time seams to be reset to 9 o’clock the day I lost internet, with no possibillity to correct it. Can this be correct, will it stop working correctly a short time after it goes offline? ---

I would think that Homey’s SOM has a realtime clock on board so it should\* be able to keep the correct(-ish) time until it’s rebooted/power-cycled, but after that it will very likely revert to a default time until it is able to sync the clock with an external time server, for which it a) needs a working internet connection and b) depends on you configuring the location of Homey correctly. (\* being able to keep the correct time when the internet connection is down depends on a proper default configuration)
