A DateTime Item carries a **DateTimeType**, which internally holds a Java `ZonedDateTime` object.

`ZoneId` refers to class [java.time.ZoneId](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.base/java/time/ZoneId.html), `zoneId` calls method [ScriptServiceUtil.getZoneId()](https://www.openhab.org/javadoc/latest/org/openhab/core/model/script/scriptserviceutil#getZoneId()).
