Dear Support,

I’m located in Lima, Peru (time zone UTC-5), and this setting is correctly configured in my Tago account. I’m receiving the timestamp properly formatted as part of the payload. I’ve created a dashboard using dynamic table and line chart widgets to display and visualize temperature and humidity readings.

The issue is that, in the line chart, the X-axis (which should show the timestamp) does not reflect the UTC-5 correction, even though this time zone adjustment has been set in the widget’s properties. I need your support to resolve this issue.

To speed things up and allow you to see the problem directly, I’m sharing access to my account. The dashboard experiencing this issue is named **“Monitoreo de Temperatura & Humedad”**.

Regards

CM

Do you have a sample payload vs a screenshot of your data to compare the hours?

Tago works best when all your data is on UTC 0 and not using any modifiers on the timestamp itself. Later your timezone gets applied only on the data display, so if you modify a timestamp twice it will reflect another time completely.

Hi,

As you can see in the image, the timestamp in my payload is already adjusted to UTC-5. However, Tago’s system uses a timestamp in UTC. In the line chart, the timestamp being displayed is from Tago’s system, which contradicts the widget settings — the line chart is configured to use the UTC-5 timezone, but this setting is not being applied. I need the X-axis of the line chart to display the time with the UTC-5 adjustment, without exception.

I don’t have the same problem and I run multiple devices on like 4 timezones.

We need to see the data on lower level. Can you post an actual payload? You can go to the Device \> Data \> Copy JSON or use the Inspector tab to copy the payload and post it here.

Also, is your “timestamp” column retrieving directly from a variable called “timestamp” or using METADATA.time?
