Hello,

I have customer that has devices in another timezone from the main gateway. In this case, specifically, in Pacific Time rather than Central Time (Gateway). They want data in Pacific time but there is no setting on the device Connection for timezone. Is there a way to set a timezone on a device so the timestamps on the realtime data get put in the correct timezone? Or are there any other options for dealing with this?

Thanks,  
Steve
