- Thu Oct 19, 2017 11:43 am #70982 I wrote an app in two versions. It's supposed to switch a light on and off to spoof burglars.

The one version is with time() and configTime(), the other uses the sntp_ calls.

Both seem to forget about the timezone after a while. At first the clock is right, a couple of hours later the device seems to think it's in London.

Any clues ?

This one should work :
