Set time in offline mode

Firmware

Hi All
I try to set time in offline mode but when MCU connected on particle cloud. It overwrite a time that i set before.
How can I do this issue

It is not possible to use a time other than the actual time returned from the cloud, if you connect to the Particle cloud.

What is the use case for setting the incorrect time?

If you want to set your local time, you’d not do it by setting a “wrong” time but rather use the correct UTC time without time zone offset and then add the correct time zone via Time.zone().

To retrieve your local time you’d not use Time.now() but Time.local() - all derivative functions (e.g. Time.hour() will also give you the localized version).
