Re: How to keep sensors in sync using NTP?

[roy lo <roylo () sr2c com>]

Just saw your post
and I think I know what your problem is
BRDT -2:00 (I guess here is why there is a 2 hour difference)
while you have it set to "UTC=true" on your NTP conf
I guess you forgot to set your system clock to UTC time but instead you 
are running local time
(thus, the ntp did the time adjustment for you)
