It defaults to the timezone you're seeing because the service can't assume what timezone you'll be in, so it needs to be told. You can add code to your HTTP requests and either do some math on the time or explicitly tell it to fall under a different timezone, such as <code>&timezone=America/Denver</code> . If you visit my <a href="http://openponics.com/wp/charts.html" rel="nofollow">data page</a>, right-click and select view source, you can see how I set that up to display different time frames all using the correct timezone.</p>

I have nothing against New Zealand, and I am sure the format has a lot of benefits. I would like to learn why it is what it is.</p>

I could see where there may be a few 100 ms of delay from when the data is sent and when it is timestamped. Most of the time that inaccuracy is not critical for the data that I log.</p>

I'm excited to see Joel's mention of our site! I'm still putting together some high level marketing pages but basically analog.io is a visualization tool for data that is stored on data.sparkfun.com. you can simply tell analog.io your data.sparkfun.com public key and it will automatically plot the data for you.<p>If you would like to view the live collection of data, you would first need to create an analog.io account and then you can view the following link: https://analog.io/#/cG</p></p>

My very first stream posted it's own time stamp, but I quickly realized the auto time stamp took care of that for me. It's convenient for devices like the ESP8266 in that, unlike the Raspberry Pi, which has it's own OS and system time, the ESP8266 would either need to have an <a href="https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12708" rel="nofollow">RTC module</a> attached or query another website for the time. With the auto time stamp, I can populate my Google Charts along a time plot without needing to program that time collection into my device, all with just a few extra lines of JavaScript.</p>

It seems like anybody serious about using it is either putting data in so frequent that the time isn't important, or they have their own time stamp. Why is the auto time stamp so useless?</p>

One day my Daughter noticed a strange smell.... looking through the house we found a heater in our Reef tank bubbling.... yup. Insulation broke down and was electrolyzing the salt water.... and electrocuted on of my favorite corals....</p>

So it is definitely nice to see someone else do it first and hear that stability isn't as big of a concern as I had thought it would be.</p>

A I've said before, I'm working on a similar setup. So it's great to see the ideas others have come up with and integrate them into my own system. The 3D printed holder will come in very handy. And I've just begun to think about how best to visualize the data. Google Charts was my first thought, but the link to Analog.io will give me something else to consider.<p>Great post, and keep us updated as you improve/upgrade the system.</p></p>
