Sending timestamps not in UTC #13

Closed ArtTron22 closed 8 months ago

ArtTron22 commented 8 months ago

Hello!

I am trying to adjust the time of a timestamp when sending point data, and I would like to know how to do so. When sending data about a point with the type "type=c 104.Type.M_ME_TF_1", I want the timestamp to be in the local time zone of the server, rather than the UTC time. For example, the server's local time zone is Europe/Istanbul. Could you please help me with this?

Thank you for your attention.

Hi there, since the protocol isn't timezone aware it would be better to use UTC time and instead format the time into a desired timezone in the presentation layer.

But it should be possible to manually set a timestamp for a measurement value via the set method. point.set(value=123, timestamp_ms=...) I tried the last option and found a bug there that will be fixed in the upcoming release 1.8.0 within the next days .
