Timezone always "0"

[gadrecs]

Hi, i managed to get your version running. But whatever i do i cannot set the Timezone in the Webserver. the value always stays at "0" I tried setting the value in the webserver with a "2" and a "+2" with no difference .. Can you provide a hint what i am doing wrong ?

I wanted to set the timezone to Europe (Berlin) ....

Kind regards and many thanks !

I use it with +2 so I know this works. Your flash might need formatting. Can you check?

Hi,

yes i checked and formatted.

After reloading the code it worked for 2 powerups

Plugging it all in the 3rd time the time was again set to 6 hrs ahead …

Really strange.

Many thanks in advance

I use it with +1 so I know this works. Your flash might need formatting. Can you check?

I am also have this exact issue for a while now. I am -4 and no matter what zone I change it to I'm always 1 hour ahead of my current time. I notice this happen after daylight savings and its SUPER frustrating. I have formatted the board completely and still having this issue.

Is there a way to just hard code the time? Having it always connect to an ntp server is not ideal at all especially if you lose wifi connection.

You would need a rtc-chip. The arduino board has no built in real time clock module...

ahh makes sense ;) Still something is wrong, I have tried to change it to ever time zone there is and it's always 1 hour ahead of my current time.

I finally got it to work, I had to set my time to -5 instead of -4 also need to use All Flash Contents. It took me about 50+ flashes before it worked, not to unplug it a few times and see if it actually sticks. Its very strange that ntp server cant even determine daylight saving... Guess I will manually need to flash the device every time we change times ;(

[lmirel]

can you check your console output? look for the following (in my case): timezone=1

then look for the message: Got NTP time: 09:47:21 12/12/2018

and see how it adapts.

you could copy/paste your whole output and I'll take a look.

I experienced quite a few issues today on one setup due to flash issues. I couldn't init the SPIFFS and all data configuration data was lost. I couldn't get the WiFi portal (WiFiManager) to work to set it up so I had to hardcode the settings just to get them saved properly. weird stuff.. I think I'll give up the WiFi Manager in a future release and use predefined settings instead.

If you don’t care about dynamic configuration via WiFi manager and the flash file system, checkout my ‘no-wm’ branch and configure your parameters statically as explained in the code. HTH
