Hello Community,

when I take a look at an NTP item in the “Control” View in Openhab2 it shows the corrcet time.

When I look at the same item used in my own sitemap there is one hour difference between them.

In my sitemap I want to see the current local time. So I use the following code

```auto
Text item=NTPTime

```

The configuration of the item is:

```auto
DateTime NTPTime "NTP Time [%1$td.%1$tm.%1$tY %1$tT]" <clock> {channel="ntp:ntp:local:dateTime"}

```

The configuration of the thing is:

```auto
ntp:ntp:local [hostname="0.pool.ntp.org", refreshInterval=60, refreshNtp=30, locale="", timeZone="Europe/Berlin"]

```

Has anybody a hint for my problem?

Thanks

What is your timezone setting? In the operating system and in your openHAB installation?

> Hey there! I mentioned if I use “now” inside my rules it seems to be UTC always, not considering my timezone or daylight saving time. Same thing if I use charts the time is also UTC. My workaround currently is to hard-code time difference and use a switch to set or unset daylight saving time. This is a bit awkward. Does openHAB offer anything to consider timezone and daylight saving time automatically? Currently I am using openHAB version 1.6.2. As I am new to openHAB I think this is a begi…
