I’m curious. Is there a way to get the current Pacific Time by web subscribing (on a IoT tag)?
I’m not sure what you’re asking. Per the Sparkplug specification, all data is stamped with UTC time. Once it arrives at another location it can be converted to local time. This is how it works in Ignition. For example, say an MQTT Transmission Edge Node is in PST and sends a tag change event to MQTT Engine which is in EST. Let’s say this occurs at 9am PDT. The tag’s timestamp at the Edge will be 9am as rendered in Designer. But the tag’s timestamp in Engine will be 12pm as rendered in that Designer assuming Designer is opened with the OS clock set to EST. However, ‘on the wire’ the timestamp is UTC time.
