Error description

It is not possible to set the ESP time, neither per NTP (various NTP server) nor per Browser. It always shows on the entry page: ESP-Time: NTP timeserver unreachable. Therefore also a connection to the inverter cannot be established

Thank you for your issue report. This issue will be fixed in the next release. Until then you can test the most recent development version 0.5.32. This can be found in the Actions section here in Github or without login on our website https://ahoydtu.de/getting_started in the 3rd section Firmware flashen

Thank you for the pointer to the development version. With this version setting the time via Browser works, but still not via NTP.

[stefan123t]

I have seen that it takes about 1 minute (or more?) after connection to the WiFi to get an automatic NTP sync. @rbike did you wait patiently and the ntp servers are reachable from the ESP. @lumapu maybe we could add a ping or some other verification that NTP can be reached / synced ?

[lumapu]

@stefan123t yes I already think about how to solve it. My next idea will be the same trigger as I use inside MQTT. There is a wifi connect event, once that is valid we can sync the time.
