How to retrieve timezone?
benpeart opened this issue · 4 comments
I have seen in the config web page that the time zone is detected and shown but I can't figure out how to retrieve that in my program so that I can use it to initialize a NTP SyncProvider for the time library I'm currently using (https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/Time).
Hi,
I already add the new requested feature and will publish new release within tomorrow.
Hereafter is the debug terminal

HHHHHHHHHH HHH
Awesome. Thank you. That was fast!
I'm assuming I will need to read the stored value from the config file and am hoping it will store the offset from GMT as that is what I need to convert the NTP time to local time.
Will publish new v1.8.0 soon, waiting for final touch.
The new feature will provide the complex TZ ( for example TZ = EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0
) so that you can use directly in ESP32/ESP8266 code as follows
#if ESP8266
configTime(WM_config.TZ, "pool.ntp.org");
#else
//configTzTime(WM_config.TZ, "pool.ntp.org" );
configTzTime(WM_config.TZ, "time.nist.gov", "0.pool.ntp.org", "1.pool.ntp.org");
#endif

The ESPAsync_WiFiManager Releases v1.8.0 has just been published.
Your request for enhancement, leading to new v1.8.0 has also been noted in Contributions and Thanks
Major Releases v1.8.0
- Add auto-Timezone feature with variable
_timezoneName
(e.g.America/New_York
) and function to retrieve TZ (e.g.EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0
) to use directly to configure ESP32/ESP8266 timezone. Check How to retrieve timezone? #51 - Store those
_timezoneName
andTZ
in LittleFS or SPIFFS config file. - Using these new timezone feature is optional.
- Add checksum in config file to validate data read from LittleFS or SPIFFS config file.
- Update examples to show how to use the new TZ feature.
