Hi,
I have installed domoticz on RPi3 and RPi3 shows the correct time. But domoticz time is about 3.5 hrs ahead. Can anybody help?
Thanks

Sudo raspi-config, set time zone. This should work

Have you installed/configured NTP?

sudo apt-get install ntp
By default it will use a pre-configured NTP server in /etc/ntp.conf
change that to some servers (min 3) at your location

server <ip or domainname NTP server(s)>

sudo service ntp restart

This eventually should sync your clock to NTP, depending on the difference between the NTP server and your raspberry this can take hours/days

Yes. My RPi shows the correct time. The problem is with Domoticz time.
Thanks

...mmh what about

sudo timedatectl set-timezone Europe/<City>
sudo timedatectl set-ntp true

in domoticz be sure to have setted up the right GPS coordinates

Yes. I have set the GPS coordinates right using 'to find your location click here'. The sunrise and sunset timings are also wrong. Tried everything.
Thanks

Hm, the fact that sunrise/sunset times are wrong implies the location setting are wrong. Do you see anything in the logfile(s)?

Are you really sure you got the right longitude/latitude from the 'click here' search?

Yes,because i have used these coordinates in arduino for a aquarium controller and i get the sunrise/sunset timings right.

Hello,
any update on this issue? I seem to have the same problem after I moved my Domoticz installation.
Short answer: fixed it!

Gps coords in Domoticz:
lon: 4.887, lat: 52.383, which is Amsterdam (and correct)

Domoticz 3.8153 claims : SunRise: 07:51, SunSet: 15:36
Weather.com states:
Zonsopgang 08:50
Zonsondergang 16:37
So this simply seems a timezone offset.
Back to the terminal:
date: Mon 1 Jan 10:37:16 CET 2018 (which is correct)

BUT: this was because the timezone was set in the .profile.

I have used the timedatectl commands by *emme* above and now my Domoticz dashboard shows the correct sunset times!
Also the times in the Dashboard are better.

Thanks, and best wishes for 2018!

Not wanting to bump a topic for nothing: timedatectl worked for me too.
Tnx
