TimeZoneDisplayName

[shadowpuck99]

i'm sure i'm missing something quite simple - but, any thoughts on why i cannot get the timezonedisplayname to show?
everything else i've tried seems to be working (meaning - i can hide various elements, change the colors, etc.) but, even though i've set a timezonedisplayname it's not showing......

Hi, I seem to have missed to state in the documentation that you have to set show_timezone: true for the time zone to show at all, then you should be able to have timezonedisplayname working. Let me know how that goes.

it will show the weekday, and digital time.

Try to set hide_weekday: false. This is probably a bug I should take a look at.

[shadowpuck99]

so, yes, changing hide_weekday: false and setting show_timezone: true with timezonedisplayname set did indeed show the timezone label.

oh my. that was about the only thing i didn't think to try! :)
i can totally understand why it acted that way.

Great! So, the history is that this field only show week day from the beginning, hence the hide_weekday setting. Later I added time zone to the same position. I will see if I can adjust, and / or document this to be more clearer.

Thanks for letting me know!

makes total sense now - i just didn't think to try that!
just having that documented will be a huge help if it can't be adjusted for some reason.

thank you for the help and for developing this - it's a neat little thing to use in home assistant.
