For my volttron agent that I used the agent creation wizard to develop, can I get a tip on an error related to this , 'Timezone offset does not match system offset: -18000 != 0. Please, check your config files.'
When testing my script with the from volttron.platform.scheduling import cron feature I noticed the timezone/computer time was way off on my edge device so I reset the time zone with this tutorial which I am thinking definitely screwed things up.
ERROR: volttron.platform.jsonrpc.RemoteError: builtins.ValueError('Timezone offset does not match system offset: -18000 != 0. Please, check your config files.')
Whether or not this makes a difference this edge device does use the fowarding agent to push the data to a central VOLTTRON instance.

This is my raise_setpoints_up function below that is alot like the CSV driver agent code.
def raise_setpoints_up(self):
_log.info(f'*** [Setter Agent INFO] *** - STARTING raise_setpoints_up function!')
schedule_request = []
# create start and end timestamps
_now = get_aware_utc_now()
str_start = format_timestamp(_now)
_end = _now + td(seconds=10)
str_end = format_timestamp(_end)
# wrap the topic and timestamps up in a list and add it to the schedules list
for device in self.jci_device_map.values():
topic = '/'.join([self.building_topic, device])
schedule_request.append([topic, str_start, str_end])
# send the request to the actuator
result = self.vip.rpc.call('platform.actuator', 'request_new_schedule', self.core.identity, 'my_schedule', 'HIGH', schedule_request).get(timeout=4)
_log.info(f'*** [Setter Agent INFO] *** - actuator agent scheduled sucess!')
Thanks for any tips
I suspect the time configured by tzdata is different than the timezone configured by the system since you changed this manually. Give this a try:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
