node-red-dashboard Text Input / time picker Wrong time zone

[kwithus]

I use a global.variable with a time in Format hh:mm which I want to populate with the text input / time-picker. I prepopulate the time picker by changing the variable with time-compare-and-change-Node to milliseconds-Unix-time and afterwards change it back to hh:mm. So far that works good, however the dashboard shows me always GMT time. So when I prepopulate with 15:00 I do get 13:00 on the dashboard. When I change the dashboard to 16:00 I do get 18:00 (MIddleEuropeansummerTime) as Output Well, I could just ad an offset, however as long as we do have Summer/Winter time that would mean I manually change the flow twice a year.

This is still a bug in NR v2.2.2 and dashboard v3.1.6

Using an inject node sending a timestamp thru the ui-text-input to a debug node shows the correct time, but the dashboard is off by the UTC difference of the local time zone.

Entering a time in the dashboard ends up showing the time - in the debug output - offset by the local UTC difference

I think this is a "feature" of html text input in time mode - eg see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59166282/input-type-time-showing-wrong-timezone I don't think there is an easy fix for this
