I’m using this:  
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”  
});

I use this.homey.i18n.getLanguage() as timezone, even if it’s only the first part of the zone (en or nb for you).  
toLocaleString is returning the formated local string depoending on the zone/language sind FW 7.4. FW \<7.4 is only returning the “en-US” version.  
But the timezone was waorking in older FWs, too.
