Get timezone in Payload Parser

TagoIO Devices and Connectors

Hello,

I have a device reporting data already based on the time zone. I want to convert to UTC but I am in Chicago/USA time zone so the offset switches from -5 to -6 depending on the time of year. So i tried using the dayjs.tz but that doesn’t seem possible?

I get this error: Function Parse Error: Error:1:15197 ‘Intl’ is not defined at (module_dayjs:1:15197) at v (module_dayjs:1:15100) at M (module_dayjs:1:15427) at (module_dayjs:1:16443) at convertChicagoToUTCISO8601 (device_payload_parser:11:16) at (device_payload_parser:37:32) at reduce (native) at (device_payload_parser:95:32)

Thanks,

I think there’s no -tz libraries for a parser, you only have vanilla moment and dayjs.

From where does your data gets into Tago? Most systems will default to use UTC instead of whatever your timezone is.

If you’re storing your data using a ISO-String which already contains the timezone, it will be automatically converted to UTC applying the correct offset based on the time of the year. Converting to a valid ISO-String is usually the easiest approach if you’re not doing it already.

Regarding using DayJS library, it was supposed to work the way you described. I’ve opened a ticket internally for our team to investigate why Dayjs.tz is not working properly.
