Hi there,

I've been using weewx (v4.1.1) for some months now, and did quit some customization. I've been using neowx as a skin and figured out how to add a menu item for my cam and how to hide the inside temp and humidity (privacy issue). I also figured out how to get the timeinfo in regional format (export LANG = ...)

My site is here... https://weerstationgieten.bredek.nl

Lately I installed the pyephem module. It gives a nice extra on my site... however the time of set and rise of different objects is offset by 1 hour ...

After some digging it turns out pyephem gives GMT timestamps, which makes sense since that is an offset of 1 hour to my timezone (CET). The rest of my site reports the localtime however.

To keeps things consistent i would like the time on set and rise in my own time zone.

Now.. i'm a bit puzzled where to do this. I figured i shouldn't touch almanac.py. I guess it has to be somewhere in the template files then, probably by making use of localtime()? Is this the right strategy? Anyone already done the same?

CIao,

Jos

Sorry.. i turns out the time is not offset (any more). I dont know why........ maybe something with the language setting which wasnt set permanently. Now it is.
