I'm just installed kodi on my new Intel NUC, and while it mostly works, it believes that the timezone is UTC. I even modified the custom systemd service to add an Environment definition setting TZ, and it continues to display UTC time on the screen.
(This is on fedora 26).
The kodi timezone setting is always disabled even in Expert settings mode, so I can't set it directly in kodi.
I'd hate to think I'd have to change the hardware clock to store localtime like windows :-).

I don't use Kodi. But did you try the timedatectl command to set TZ?

If I ask timedatectl what the timezone is, it tells me the correct zone. If I run "date" in an ssh session into the kodi box, it tells me the correct time. Only kodi refuses to display the time.
Also if I exit kodi and start it up again long after systemd has had a chance to get everything going, it still shows the wrong time (so it isn't some timing issue in the systemd startup).
I'm completely out of ideas.

Excuse me. What is "Timezone country" inside Settings -> Interface settings -> Regional
Ciao A.

Hey! That was it. The country setting wasn't disable (just blank). When I set it to "United States", the Timezone immediately became enabled and even had the correct value filled in.
That killed a day :-).

I suspect that the blank country setting means "UTC". It appeared that my time was 8 hours ahead (which would be UTC) before I changed it.

Kodi is one confusing package!
I'm running kodi-17 here. From the Home (top level) screen click on the gear symbol at the top left portion of the screen. From there select Interface Settings then on the left select Regional. On that page there are options for "Timezone Country" and "Timezone" as well as time and date formats.
When I change a timezone the clock at the top right immediately reflects the new time so I think that's what you're looking for.
Hope that helps

That's where it is:
Interface settings->Regional->Timezone country->Select your country Interface settings->Regional->Timezone->Select your timezone
I did:
Interface settings->Regional->Timezone country->United States Interface settings->Regional->Timezone->America/Los_Angeles
