Incorrect Time Display on NSPanel with Firmware Version 4.1.1

[n1kDon]

Issue Description: I have three NSPanel displays running different versions of the firmware. Two of them are on version 3.4, and one is on the latest version 4.1.1. I've noticed that the NSPanel running firmware 4.1.1 is displaying the time incorrectly—it's one hour early compared to the correct time and compared to the other two panels running the older firmware version. All are manged with the same homeassistant running on docker with different blueprint versions selected.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken: Checked and confirmed that the time zone settings are correct in ha. Restarted the NSPanel and ha.

Firmware Version: 4.1.1 Time Zone: Berlin (GMT+1)

in my case, forcing the addition of a time zone did not help. Time is delayed by 3 hours. 4.1 and 4.1.1 config:

in logs i see: [21:36:41][C][homeassistant.time:010]: Home Assistant Time:

After re-flashing the time is shown correctly in the log: [21:41:38][C][homeassistant.time:010]: Home Assistant Time:

but after a reboot, the time is lost again and the ESPHome firmware is rolled back to 4.1 :( : [21:44:07][D][api:102]: Accepted 192.168.1.38 [21:44:07][D][api.connection:1050]: Home Assistant 2023.11.2 (192.168.1.38): Connected successfully [21:44:07][D][time:045]: Synchronized time: 2023-11-21 18:44:07 [21:44:07][D][main:068]: System clock synchronized

but after a reboot, the time is lost again and the ESPHome firmware is rolled back to 4.1 :(

This looks like some other issue... Could you please share your ESPHome yaml? Please remove any sensitive info before sharing. Sorry, the yaml is already there.

@Anzic23, in your case I believe the issue is related to the use of the advanced package. It includes framework esp-idf, however for the change of framework it's recommended to flash via serial/usb otherwise you can have partitioning issues and your panel could boot in an older firmware (with older settings).

Please try adding this to your yaml:

esp32:
  framework:
    type: arduino

This will force it to arduino. If you have plans to flash it by serial/usb, then remove those lines before. esp-idf have a better memory management than arduino, but changing those requires flash via usb/serial.

@edwardtfn Thank you! Adding the code to the config helped!

@n1kDon, are you still facing this issue or should we close this?

thats funny, I uploaded the change in the yaml 10 minutes ago, now the time is correct, thanks!
