tzlocal error on Debian 12

[RogerSelwyn]

I've started getting this error showing on my Debian environment (which is the default for Home Assistant)

[tzlocal] /etc/timezone is deprecated on Debian, and no longer reliable. Ignoring.

I believe this is cause by the call to get_localzone in connection.py. Is there a way to get the local zone another way?

Seems something that tzlocal is aware of. Check notes on 5.3:

On O365 it’s easy to provide your own time zone. Maybe you just can do that.

I do provide my own time zone (though I’ll check that), I think it just always gets local time zone.

I’ll look tomorrow

I’ll raise a PR on connection.py tomorrow, code alerts users tzlocal when it doesn’t need to if timezone is supplied.
