Manually set date and time for testing

#1 Post by cybermaus » 16 Aug 2019, 10:14

So I am building a ESPEasy timer, very simple evening and morning light on.
And I believe I do have it working nicely (see below)

But testing is a bit hard. I have to either wait till sunset/sunrise rolls around (so 2 test per day) or modify the code to temporary read %sunset+2h51% to match the next few %systime% minutes.
Not ideal to test code when using different code.
Tried tweaking timezone UTC-offset in such a way the %sunrise% is about to roll past, but that also does not work, as %sunrise% is modded along with %systime%


Is there any way to set the system time directly?
I can turn of NTP, but how to set the time?


For reference: my rules:

Code: Select all

on Time#Initialized do
  event,Clock#Time=Recalc
endon

on Clock#Time=All,06:00 do
  event,Clock#Time=Recalc
endon

on Clock#Time=All,%sunrise-15m% do
    GPIO,12,0
endon

on Clock#Time=All,%sunset+15m% do
  event,Clock#Time=Recalc
endon

on Clock#Time=All,23:00 do
    GPIO,12,0
endon

on Clock#Time=Recalc do
  if %systime%>=23:00 or %systime%<06:00
    GPIO,12,0
  endif
  if %systime%>=06:00 and %systime%<%sunrise-15m% 
    GPIO,12,1
  endif
  if %systime%>=%sunrise-15m% and %systime%<%sunset+15m% 
    GPIO,12,0
  endif
  if %systime%>=%sunset+15m% and %systime%<23:00
    GPIO,12,1
  endif
endon

on Clock#Time=Override do
  if %systime%>=%sunset+15m% or %systime%<%sunrise-15m%
    GPIO,12,1
  endif
endon

You could just test the event that is being triggered, no need to use the clock event for that.

You can tweak the timezone settings to trigger some daily event on another moment during the day.
