Hi

Im making an app that gives a tag with diffrent time-stuff as a number-tag, for example current hour.

But when i use the function hourdate.getHours(); i get the hour 1 hour early.  
As i understand it the function should return local time.  
My computer and my homey is in CET(sweden).

Anyone know what im doing wrong?
