title: How to set the time to central time zone on Arduino?
body: <p>I am trying to figure out how to set the time on the esp8266 board to Central Time Zone.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried the following but it doesn't seem to make a difference.</p>
  
  <pre><code>configTime(-5*3600, 3600, "pool.ntp.org", "time.nist.gov");
  
  time(&amp;curr_time);
  curr_tm = localtime(&amp;curr_time);
  
  char date_string[100];
  char time_string[100];
  char ampm_string[50];
  char zone_string[50];
  
  strftime(date_string, 50, "Today is %B %d, %Y", curr_tm);
  strftime(time_string, 50, "Current time is %T", curr_tm);
  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Could you tell me what I am doing wrong or recommend a library I can use to achieve this?<br>
  Thank you!</p>
