Change the date and time

Either I'm getting old and blind or the option is just absent... does anyone know where I can change the date and time on my Homey?

Looking to your date stamp I think GMT.
And yes, my timezone is also Europe/Amsterdam.
This problem is already know from early this year.
works at exact the time the news starts on the radio....
By changing the time in a later one I notice how many seconds.
In the past a could see that way the change in the time shift. So it is still there.
EDIT
If you do it the way here above the it is OK. In a flow still 55 seconds to late.
Right now (21 November 2016, 18:35 CET), the time that my own Homey displays, is:
date 2016-07-05T21:04:39.788Z
date_human Tuesday 5th July 2016 21:04:39
And I'm on firmware 1.01...
I have exactly the flow from up here running, and it was fine for > half a year. Someone mentioned that in the evening it was irritating to hear the time every hour since it interferes with television.
I have tried to adjust the flow by excluding a time-frame during the evening. Besides that this did not work, there is a very strange behavior now. Home reports the time now 1 minute early.... So at 20:00 homey reports the "time is 19:59". This behavior is every hour now.
Changing back the flow as above does not make a difference. I'm really surprised, the time / report-time are somehow 1 minute off. In settings I notice that the time is really 1 minute off..
Anyone familiar with this behavior? Suggestions for corrections?
is @Athom or @Annemarie reading this?
They have been trying to fix this issue ever since it was found a year ago, even causing another bug trying to fix it.
Just because it's the date, doesn't mean it's a small issue.
Working with Ntp (the service that makes sure homey is on time) can be a pain in the ass and have a few things that can interfere, like the users firewall, ISP blocking the signal, router being an ass.
Only has to be short time when homey is booting.
Manually updating your location in homey should trigger a "sync time" to the Ntp server.
Strange thing is that I never experienced this behavior before, until fiddling with the hourly flow....
i have a tablet under my screens that is 90% of the time 1 to 2 minutes earlier then my computer's time
also have a tablet on the wall across the room, which has the time even up to 9 minutes! earlier.
they all are connected to the internet and use the same type of protocol to have the time "right"
just look at all your devices, and see if the time is right, on the second. can guarantee you that it is different, maybe not for 1 day, but look again tomorrow
