Timesnchronisation

[bubulino]

Good Morning

Is there a possibility, to synchronize the Console-Time with the meteoplug/meteohub ?

Perhaps: "Synchronize once a day, push time to Davis Console" ?

Problem: Console with a unstable clock (runs away).

Thanks for your infos

technically it seems possible, but Boris never replied what he thinks about implementing it ...

yep, seems to be the case - would be a nice feature, if meteohub could keep VP2s clock in line.

"SETTIME"
It sets the time and date on the console. Data in a binary format is sent after ACK.

The data is 6 bytes plus a 2 bytes of CRC. The each field is one byte. The fields, in order,
are: seconds, minutes, hour (24 hour format), day, month, year – 1900. See section XI for
more information on calculating CRC values.

Example (to set 3:27:00 pm, June 4, 2003):
>"SETTIME"<LF>
<<ACK>
><0><27><15><4><6><103><2 Bytes of CRC>
<<ACK>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"GETTIME"
It retrieves the current time and date on the console. Data is sent in a binary format.
The format is the same as the SETTIME command.

Example (Vantage responds with 5:17:42 am, January 28, 1998):
>"GETTIME"<LF>
<<ACK>
><42><17><5><28><1><98><2 Bytes of CRC>
