Hi, I have the new Homey Pro. The Time on the devices is two hours past the local time, even if the time zone is correct. How can set the time? ---

Thanks. But it didn’t work. It changed the time. But the new time is somehow more strange. Instead of 2 hours past local time it’s now 1:35 past local time. Is there no sync with a time server? ---

How is your local network set up? Does your home router provide time services to the network? If so, and it’s possible to change that, try turning it off (if it’s on) or on (if it’s off). After changing, reboot Homey to have it pick up the new setting. ---

For me, unfortunately, it doesn’t work yet: date = “2023-11-06T20:02:19.\*\*\*Z” dateHuman = “Monday 6th November 2023 21:02:19” dateDst = false My home modem (Zyxel-T54, Odido) has no problems regarding time and date, that data is retrieved online. Yet that hour time difference causes some lights that should dim at 00:00 to do so as early as 23:00. I have the Homey Pro 2023 with version 10.0.8. The location is designated with a mappointer on the map (no automatic location determination), I use the WebApp version 1.9.68 and the iPhone Homey app is version 7.5.0.1378 In both the WebApp and iPhone app, the time zone is set to Europe/Amsterdam with the correct time: 21:02:19. I already changed my location to London, Poland, Italy and back to the center of the Netherlands, but unfortunately the problem remains. Does anyone have a suggestion what is causing the time difference? Thanks in advance for a response! ---

> [@RonnO](#): > > In both the WebApp and iPhone app, the time zone is set to Europe/Amsterdam with the correct time: 21:02:19. I don’t see what the problem is, the `dateHuman` is the same as what you say the correct time is (don’t look at the `date` field, that always shows UTC). ---

Ow really? I got the impression that the two times had to be equal to each other. And so the fact that it says “dateDst = false” doesn’t matter either? The problem I experienced is that my lights were dimmed at 11pm yesterday instead of midnight. Hopefully I will notice later that it has been fixed. Thanks for your reply, @robertklep! ---

> [@RonnO](#): > > “dateDst = false” doesn’t matter either? It does, Dst = Daylight Saving Time (in Dutch: zomertijd); When it’s summertime, `dateDst` says ‘True’, and the dateHuman time for Amsterdam/Europe will be UTC time +2 hrs. While the clock is back to ‘normal’ at the moment (wintertijd), the `dateDst` says ‘False’ and the dateHuman time for Amsterdam/Europe will be UTC time +1 hr. ---

I have tried all kind of time zones… it just doesn’t work. The basic time of my homey 2023 is not UTC… Tried to use fake time zone (Indonesia) to fix the time error but that also does not work… resulting in faulty flows… how can I fix this??? ![tempFileForShare_20240129-214216-01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/8/f8efd023cc178d87bf2d1dfb32f6bdb14bc9ee00.jpeg) ---

The time difference between my local time CET and Homey is 7 hours. That is why I tried the +7hrs time zone to compensate, but even when that is visible in the app… it is not active in Homey. This error really messes up my flows ☹ ---

From the screenshot I see you are still in Jakarta. So you have to switch it back to your own time zone. ---
