Wrong time zone in system prompt?

[HenryKleinschmidt]

I think I'm getting the wrong time zone with this: {{ (as_timestamp(now()) | timestamp_custom("%I:%M %p on %A %B %d, %Y", "")) }} Can someone tell me how to fix this?

I've added this to a title card to visualize it.

If it's templating out that way it's probably an issue with your HA config. What's your Settings > System > General time zone set to?

If using docker, what's the docker container TZ environment variable set to?

Hi thanks for your response. My HA config has the correct time zone set. I'm using Home Assistant OS as a VM and the date/time there is correct as well.

Try to set the timezone in the last "" , it spits out UTC without something there....

Example {{ (as_timestamp(now()) | timestamp_custom("%H:%M %p on %A %B %d %z, %Y", "")) }}

gives 14:26 on Friday April 26 +0000, 2024

{{ (as_timestamp(now()) | timestamp_custom("%H:%M %p on %A %B %d %z, %Y", "MDT")) }}

gives 08:26 on Friday April 26 -0600, 2024

Yes that's it! Thank you.
