    HomeTroller-SEL set system time?

    Hello, New to Homeseer and Linux. I need to set the system time and I have found elsewhere that the time needs to be set from the command line.

    Id like to set the time for Pacific time. GMT-8
    Would I enter this command in Tools/System/Linux tools?

    ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT-8 /etc/localtime

    Then reboot?

    Thanks for any help

      Solved

      I found one solution
      I logged into my SEL from terminal on my mac(post above)

      imedatectl list-timezones
      this will list all timezones as names. Mine is America/Vancouver

      sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Vancouver /etc/localtime
      insert your location instead
      You will be prompted for your system password

      sudo date --set "9 JUNE 2016 4:09 PM"
      Set your local time and date

      date
      to check that time and zone is correct

      logout
      No reboot necessary
      Edit(Reboot required. Sunrise and Sunset settings didn't update till reboot)

        When I log into my SEL I get a desktop environment called LXDE. It has all sorts of apps. One to set time zone and system time.
        Very easy and graphical.??

          Interesting. Are you running that on a Linux box?

            I'm running to hometroller SEL, right out of the box. Plugged in a VGA monitor, mouse and keyboard. It's running linux, and boots up to a Homeseer Login screen. GUI launches a file manager, chrome browser, dozens if apps, play music, watch videos, surf intetnet. I can even access HS device manager. Print to network printer, access NAS drives. Pretty cool. Called LXDE, LX Desktop Environment.
