Is once per hour okay? > Hi Tomasz, I recently came across this code for using NTP: https://github.com/victor-chew/espclock/blob/master/espclock.ino It uses WiFiManager to set up the connection from the ESP to a router (I strongly recommend WiFiManager, Actually I use ASyncWifiManager because I use the ASyncTCP libraries). In doing so, it gets the user's location from the browser and then uses google's location APIs to get the timezone data. The net result is that it uses NTP to get UTC time, and then automatically adjusts it for the timezone/DST in the user's location. It looks like the user can override the location if they want to. - Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
