DESCRIPTION
The timezone utility is used to specify the timezone in which a sensing device is operating. The timezone set here is reported by the scs_dev/status_sampler utility.
Typically, the operating system of the device is set to UTC. Environmental sensing documents always include an ISO 8601 localised datetime, and this localised datetime is set to the timezone of the operating system.
All time zones specified by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) are available.
Note that the scs_dev sampler processes must be restarted for changes to take effect.
