dzVents toUTC() function returns string not domoticz time object

[eagle360]

dzVents v3.1.8 toUTC() function returns a string not domoticz time object as indicated in the Documentation page"DzVents: next generation Lua scripting"

toUTC(string | table,[offset]): domoticz time object. 3.0.9 returns domoticz time object based on first parameter (time as table or string) string format must be ‘yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss’. offset defaults to 0.

	function self.toUTC(oDate, offset)
		local sDate = ( type(oDate) == 'table' and os.date("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", os.time(oDate)) ) or oDate
		local offset = offset or 0
		return Time(sDate).addSeconds(-1 * getTimezone() + offset).raw

Do you have a small dzvents script to reproduce your issue?

With my limited programming skills looking at the code you mentioned it should return a Time object....

[eagle360]

The function is clearly returning .raw (a string) vs a time object:

return Time(sDate).addSeconds(-1 * getTimezone() + offset).raw

Test:
domoticz.log ('Type of toUTC(Time()) : ' .. type(domoticz.time.toUTC(Time())) )
Result:
Type of toUTC(Time()) : string

It doesn't really matter just that the documentation doesn't match the function. Probably best to leave the function as is (not to make a breaking change) and update the documentation instead.

Documented as string now on the wiki.
