If you notice that the data shown in the Smartvatten HUB does not exactly match the timestamps in the API, this difference is usually caused by the time zone settings.
API data is always provided in UTC+0 format.
HUB data is displayed according to the local time zone of the premise.
👉 Example:
If the premises local time zone is UTC+2, then a reading that appears in the API as 10:00 UTC will be displayed in the HUB as 12:00.
Source | Time Zone | Example Reading Time |
API | UTC+0 (standardized) | 10:00 |
HUB | Local premise time | 12:00 (if UTC+2) |
Key points to remember
Always check whether you’re comparing values in the same time zone.
For integrations, it’s best to treat API timestamps as the “source of truth,” since they are standardized in UTC.
If you need to align HUB and API data, apply a time zone conversion so both datasets use the same reference.
