@iarspider , did you check if this will work during DST ?

[iarspider]

Yes:

• Actual time

>>> import time
>>> time.localtime()
time.struct_time(tm_year=2024, tm_mon=11, tm_mday=13, tm_hour=18, tm_min=2, tm_sec=19, tm_wday=2, tm_yday=318, tm_isdst=0)
>>> time.localtime().tm_gmtoff
3600
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime("2024-11-13 13:00", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M").replace(tzinfo=currenttz()).astimezone(datetime.timezone.utc)
datetime.datetime(2024, 11, 13, 12, 0, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)

• After changing the clock to DST:

>>> import time
>>> time.localtime()
time.struct_time(tm_year=2024, tm_mon=10, tm_mday=20, tm_hour=18, tm_min=0, tm_sec=50, tm_wday=6, tm_yday=294, tm_isdst=1)
>>> time.localtime().tm_gmtoff
7200
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime("2024-11-13 13:00", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M").replace(tzinfo=currenttz()).astimezone(datetime.timezone.utc)
datetime.datetime(2024, 11, 13, 11, 0, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)
