Time not updating automatically

[JanMrt-d]

Hey guys,

currently setting up the clock. First of all, nice work and thank you!

However, as a newbie in C++ I am currently struggeling a little. My issue: The ESP8266 does not automatically update the time. If i restart, the correct time is taken from the NTP Server. Anbyody had this problem?

Tried 4.0.1 and master branch. Thanks :)

I have the same problem. Came looking into these issues and found this one. Does anyone have insight into this?

I found a solution to this problem. I have downgraded some libs:

ntpclient V 3.1.0 fastled 3.4.0

Now it works well.

Thank you for coming back with this! I ultimately switched to another firmware that is quite bloated with features, so I might consider going back. Thanks!

Thank you, will try it soon :)

the simple solution is to put the line Grid::setTime(Time::hour, Time:::minute); into the loop - took me ages to realize that this is the reason why everything works fine at start or restart, but no automatic updating

I have the same problem with 4.01 version. Does anyone have insight into this? tried the given solutions in this thread but with no result.

Are there other solutions for this problem? I can't get it running now

Hi,

I have the same problem here. The time is not updating. I tried using the downgraded versions of FastLED and NTPClient. But this got me some error messages and the script was not compiled. With the latest versions (FastLED V3.6.0, NTPCLient V4.3.1.) I get at least the actual time after a restart. So I am stuck now.

Does anybody has better skills in C++ coding?

Thanks!

I found a solution to this problem. I have downgraded some libs:

ntpclient V 3.1.0 fastled 3.4.0

Now it works well.

NTPClient 3.1.0 didn't work for me.

So its working with NTPClient 3.2.0 and FastLED 3.4.0 for me.

This could be a solution for you @LaSuze7
