I got a DateTime Item with correct time. The Item defined: Datetime Start “Startzeit: [%1$tH:%1$tM:%1$tS]” shows Time in local Time. So 19:02:15 UTC is shown correctly as 21:02:15 local time. No I want to store this DateTime in a String within a rule. MyItem.sendCommand(Start.state.format("%1$tH:%1$tM:%1$tS") shows 19:02:15 now. I already tried: MyItem.sendCommand(Start.state.format("%1$tH:%1$tM:%1$tSZ") MyItem.sendCommand(Start.state.format("%1$tH:%1$tM:%1$tS%1$tZ") but none of…

There is no easy solution if openHAB don’t first get the correct data with timezone info. What do you actually send from the android? Note that Epoch time is by definition in UTC and carries no timezone info.
