Hi, about adafruit_io_python HOT 6 CLOSED

Adafruit_IO.errors.RequestError: Adafruit IO request failed: 422 Unprocessable Entity - request failed - Record invalid. Failed to save data to mengrie/feeds/temperature. data created_at may not be in the future

@MarcEngrie - Please check if your computer's system date-time is set to an accurate date-time.

Hi Brent,
yes my computer has the right time and is sync via ntp with time.windows.com (see attachment)

from adafruit_io_python.

@MarcEngrie There may be a small amount of drift between your server time and our server time. We allow no drift on created_at.

I'm going to create a patch for this issue, but you may want to try changing the data.py example from
data_list = [Data(value=50, created_at=today), Data(value=33, created_at=yesterday)]
to
data_list = [Data(value=50), Data(value=33)]

from adafruit_io_python.

Indeed, that is working. Nut also this is working
data_list = [Data(value=50), Data(value=33, created_at=yesterday)]
The problem is for sure related to the 'today'-value.
using
today = datetime.datetime.now().isoformat()
print(today)
give me the exact current local date and time. Eg: 2020-06-03T18:49:36.103297
So, I change that line to
today = datetime.datetime.utcnow().isoformat()
print(today)
an that give me a date/time 2 hours earlier Eg: 2020-06-03T16:53:47.841466
But also that fails with the same error. So there is a bit more than a drift that causes the problem.
Just an idea, and not knowing how the code looks, but maybe all timestamps in Adafruit IO should be in UTC timezone to overcome these issues?
Or timezone should be sent aswell to Adafruit IO so you can adjust based on timezone received and timezone of cloudserver?

Just to help you out finding the right solution, I did the following
now = datetime.datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(hours=4)
today = now.isoformat()
print(today)
This will work
now = datetime.datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(hours=3)
today = now.isoformat()
print(today)
This will fail.
Of course in non-utc timezone (CEST = CET summertime = UTC +2), this works as well
now = datetime.datetime.now() - timedelta(hours=6)
today = now.isoformat()
print(today)
while (of course) this fails
now = datetime.datetime.now() - timedelta(hours=5)
today = now.isoformat()
print(today)
(so cloudserver is based in East-Canada?)
