  • 1.  Calculating DST Offset

    Hey y'all ..

    Wondering if anyone has a 'clean' expression for calculating the current local offset from UTC?

    I've seen lots of example for calculating current date and/or time based on a *known* offset, but I'd like to get the current offset in hours (or integer).

    For example, in Sydney 'Standard' time is UTC+10 and 'Daylight' Time is UTC+11, I want to play a diferent message for Standard Time compared to Daylight time.

    Thanks in advance!

    Cheers,
    Mal.

    Hey Malcom

    There may be another way of achieving what you want, but there is an API  that you can probably call through a Data Action that will return a list of all time zones and "current" offset.  You'd then need to parse out from the results the specific time zone ID you want to get the offset value for.

    /api/v2/timezones

    You can use World Time API: Simple JSON/plain-text API to obtain the current time in, and related data about, a timezone. to get the current time in a zone and then use the diff statements against that time.
