First Check

• This is not a feature request.
• I added a very descriptive title to this issue (title field is above this).
• I used the GitHub search to find a similar issue and didn't find it.
• I searched the Mealie documentation, with the integrated search.
• I already read the docs and didn't find an answer.
• This issue can be replicated on the demo site (https://demo.mealie.io/).

What is the issue you are experiencing?

Setting the TZ in the docker env to Australia/Adelaide does not change the timezone for API requests.
This causes the Meal of the day request via API rest request to change @UTC time instead of the set Timezone.

Steps to Reproduce

Meal Plan

Homeassistant Rest Sensor

Docker Container Time

How is the HA sensor being created?

[mopedy]

I create it as sensor entity in config.

Not sure if it helps but it has the correct meal in the calender in HA, just the picture in camera entity that is created with the generic camera does not match until 09:30am

http://192.168.1.116:9925/api/media/recipes/{{states('sensor.mealie_todays_meal_id')}}/images/min-original.webp

It seems Mealie integration and Mealie use the set TZ of ACST which is UTC +9:30 but the API uses UTC.

Thanks for looking into this.

Can confirm same happening to me. I'm on EST time, have a similar sensor configured in HA:

rest:
  - headers:
      Authorization: >
        Bearer  ---
    scan_interval: 60
    resource: http://homeassistant:9925/api/households/mealplans/today
    sensor:
      - name: "Meal of the Day"
        value_template: "{{ value_json[0].recipe.name }} "
        json_attributes_path: "$.[0].recipe"
        json_attributes:
          - id

My sensor changes to the next meal around 8pm EST time:

Happening here as well for AEDT (+11 GMT). I am running on V2.04.
Calendar is looking fine
looking at startup logs there does not seem to be a mention that the TZ has been set to TZ: Australia/Sydney

Still present on 2.2.0

[michaelclark2]

from what I can tell, the api endpoint is hardcoded to use UTC timezone as todays date

mealie/mealie/repos/repository_meals.py

Line 16 in aceed2a

today = datetime.now(tz=UTC).date()
