Noticed that the time stamp isn't being recorded correctly.

Thats really strange. I have noticed wrong times logged but it was because the pi's time was wrong. After setting up ntpd it fixed it but your time is correct.... very strange. I'll have a look

Ah you are CEST. The time logged in the DB is UTC, no offeset is applied on read so you are getting back the raw UTC time

We can close all of this now.
