Hi @kkale -

Do you want to be able to display timezone as a text variable? Is this to check that the timezone set to a station matches the actual time zone? Just want to better understand what you are looking for :slight_smile:

On the Stations page in app editor you can see the set timezone for a station https://support.tulip.co/docs/en/running-applications-in-production

You can also set default timezone for a Tulip Account, but that will be overriden by what is specified at the Station level (so if you have many stations in different timezones, you can set them appropriately https://support.tulip.co/docs/configuring-your-tulip-account-settings

Thanks!

Okay I understand -

I played around a little bit and found this to work to extract the UTC timezone from the current app time

The output variable looks like this (it is a text variable)

I am not sure how to convert UTC to something like TZ format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones), but hopefully this helps you get most of the way there!
