If you are asking a question, please follow this template:

  1. My goal is: configure time zone for AMERICA/BOGOTA ESP32 with mongoose OS V2.19.1.
  2. My actions are: Added SNTP library and setup and tried tho configure time zone for AMERICA/BOGOTA adding the following line to mos.yml [“sys.tz_spec”, “<-05>5”]
  3. The result I see is: Greenwich plus 5 hours!!
  4. My expectation & question is: Greenwich - 5 hours!!
