Hi, I set the recording period in local time format (UTC+8), and the device recorded at exact period.
but the problem is, the time created on .wav file are still appeared as UTC
is there anyway I can fix it?
Thanks a lot.

That sounds great--thank you!
Yep. In the next version of the configuration app we have a couple of new utilities to expand and split WAV files, so it might be worth having some that will also rename files to add prefixes, add timezones, etc. That way we can keep the default behaviour so we don't break anyone's existing workflow but make it easy for others to manipulate the files to their requirements.
Hi Alex, found this question while looking for information on AudioMoth behavior in local time. I was wondering if it would be possible to add the time zone to the WAV filename a la ISO 8601--otherwise filenames from files that are localized to UTC look the same as filenames that are localized to a different timezone, which is potentially misleading.
Hi,
Please can you confirm: if the AudioMoth is configured to record in local time that the filename timestamp will also be in local time? Do I need to use firmware to make this happen or can I just set the configuration app to local time?
Also, do you know of any software that I can download which will convert the timestamp? I will not have internet to be able to use epoch converters online while deploying AudioMoths. Or is there some R code / excel function that can do this?
Thanks
