[Feature Request]: Option to import mesh time to system time in Linux native #5371

Open noon92 opened 5 days ago

Platform

Linux Native

Description

Deployed native systems will often have no authoritative time source (such as GPS or NTP). One solution to this is getting mesh time, when reliable, and applying it to system time.

If implemented, it should probably downgrade the priority/reliability of itself as a source of time, so a single bad retrieval of time from the mesh doesn't get "upgraded" to RTC reliability. Not sure if I explained that well.
