Incorrect countdown number. #14

Is there a way to get the countdown to work for my timezone? I am GMT -5 but the countdown is GMT. At 7pm it changes the countdown number.

Hello, not sure if you ever figured this out or maybe someone else will come looking for the same answer, but I found a work around for it.

In the config for the date of the event, you have the ability to add a time to it. Once you clued me in about the GMT time I just figured out that I was -7 GMT, so I added at least +7 hours from midnight to the start time of the event. That way the module won't think it starts until the afternoon of the day and that change added a day to the display feature. Fixed the problem for me. I also added the custom config to turn off the hours display, I don't like the look, I just want the days only.

Code sample below.

{
            module: 'MMM-CountDown',
            position: "top_center",
            config: {
                    event: "Grandma Comes to Visit",
                    date: "2021-11-04 12:00:00",
                    showHours: false,
                    showMinutes: false, 
                    showSeconds: false,
                    daysLabel: " Days",
            }
        },
