I want to know which are recommended timezone config for both server and device,
so that the server can support every type of DEVICE from any region of the globe which has/hasn't the functionality of changing the timezone.
The problem I am facing is that the same protocol device i.e. GT06 from different manufacturers has different timezone set by default.
Initially, the devices we were using have a timezone of 8,0 i.e. HKT (Hong kong timezone) and now as we are expanding we are receiving devices with 5,30 and 0,0 and sometimes even after changing the timezone from device-level doesn't fix the timezone issue.
I had played by changing the server timezone using
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
but the changes came with a nightmare where the server started ignoring new LAT/LNG
Device has to report UTC timezone. Server timezone doesn't matter. Don't change it.
Right now, we are using IST timezone on our server. Any advice on what steps we should follow to change the same to UTC without affecting user experience in the best case?
