When i check the official phone app i can see that it possible to set and see the actual time. Is this something that can be added ?

Hi, THis is what I did:

String sHour = payload.substring(0,2);
 String sMinute = payload.substring(3);
hourSet = sHour.toInt();
// The highest bit enables 24-hour format: add 0x80 (=128) to the hour in the 24 format
// Send 0x94 for 20 (vingt heures)
hourSet = hourSet + 128;
minuteSet = sMinute.toInt();
//mqtt.publish("Spa/node/debug", String(hourSet).c_str());
send = 0xee;

then

      uint8_t h = hourSet;
      uint8_t m = minuteSet;
      Q_out.push(id);
      Q_out.push(0xBF);
      Q_out.push(0x21);
      Q_out.push(h);
      Q_out.push(m);

and get current time:

      // 8:Flag Byte 3 Hour & 9:Flag Byte 4 Minute => Time
      if (Q_in[8] < 10) s = "0"; else s = "";
      SpaState.hour = Q_in[8];
      s += String(Q_in[8]) + ":";
      if (Q_in[9] < 10) s += "0";
      s += String(Q_in[9]);
      SpaState.minutes = Q_in[9];
      mqtt.publish("Spa/time/state", s.c_str());

Hope it helps!

The mqtt bridge automatically checks the time and and ensures it is in sync with whatever computer it is running on. I didn't feel much point in publishing the current time to mqtt. Presumably one is already using NTP to keep your host in sync already.

I checked the time on the spa and it's in sync, sorry i missed to check it before i create the issue. I think is a good idea to add that the time is automatically synchronized in the documentation ?
