I have searched, but I can’t find the Ubidots UTC Zone. Am I safe to assume that the Ubidots servers are set to UTC +0 - essentially GMT (Greenwich mean time)? I am setting up an interface for data downloads and my local servers timezone is calculated using its UTC zone (of course). I just need to know if I should subtract my timezone (in my case +8) in my tstart and tend dates.
This is the right approach, correct? That is, to pass tstart and tend dates as UTC +0 in milliseconds, yes? Thanks.
When you use a timestamp value is always in UTC, Ubidots use for default the Unix Time, so when you use tstart and tend parameters you must to convert your date in UTC and then convert to timestamp, I use http://www.epochconverter.com/ is a wonderful tool to convert dates on timestamp and viceversa in your timezone or UTC.
Uh, yeah. So that means that we are dealing with UTC +0 or GMT. I am used to UTC being used as a plus or minus setting off of GMT. That is, Local Time for a server is always UTC plus or minus something unless of course it is sitting on or near the Prime Meridian.
